About this forecast

The National Institutes of Health (NIH), within the Department of Health and Human Services, forecasts a new requirement under the Essential Peripheral Procurement II effort, with an estimated solicitation release on March 1, 2026 and an estimated award on April 1, 2026. The requirement is a total small business set-aside under NAICS 541519, Other Computer Related Services, driven by a significant decline in NIH's inventory of essential computer peripherals, which NIH states threatens operational efficiency and project deadlines.

The forecast lists 40 Apple 14-inch MacBook Pro, 100 Apple 16-inch MacBook Pro, 50 Apple keyboards, 50 Apple Mouse units, 40 Apple Pencil Pro, 40 Apple Pencil, 80 iPad Magic Keyboards, 70 power adapters, and 150 charging cables. The estimated award value range is $250,000 to $700,000. Points of contact are Cheung Chung (cheung.chung@nih.gov) and Justin Borden, Contract Specialist (justin.borden@nih.gov, +1 (301) 480-9887).

Forecast text

We have observed a significant decline in our inventory levels of essential computer peripherals, Apple 14" Macbook Pro (40), Apple 16" Macbook Pro (100)' Apple keyboard (50), Apple Mouse (50), Apple Pencil Pro (40), Apple Pencil (40), iPad Magic Keyboard (80), Power adapter (70), and Charging cable (150). This depletion poses a substantial risk to our operational efficiency and the seamless execution of daily tasks. After a thorough assessment of our current stock and future requirements, we find it imperative to proceed with the procurement of additional peripherals. Computer peripherals are fundamental to the productivity and functionality of our workforce. The current low inventory threatens to disrupt the workflow, potentially causing delays and inefficiencies. In a technology-driven environment, having an adequate supply of these peripherals is crucial for maintaining consistent performance and meeting project deadlines. As our organization grows and undertakes new projects, the demand for computer peripherals is expected to rise. Purchasing these peripherals now, while prices are favorable, will help us avoid potential price hikes and supply shortages in the future. By planning ahead, we ensure that our team has the necessary tools to succeed, without the risk of inventory shortages disrupting our operations.
