About this forecast
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is forecasting a new requirement for 272 HP laptops for staff of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), with an estimated solicitation release of 2026-07-01 and an estimated award of 2026-08-01. The laptops will be bought through NIAID's Centralized Computer Acquisition, Configuration, and Distribution Program, which standardizes hardware to meet USGCB/FDCC security standards, and NITAAC CIO-CS will be used for the acquisition. The acquisition is authorized under FAR Subpart 16.5, with brand name justification under FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(B) limiting consideration to HP products.
The estimated award value range is $700,000 to $1,500,000, and the total cost for the 272 computers is $748,850.64. The order splits evenly into 136 HP ZBook 8 G1i 14-inch units (Ultra 7 265U processor) and 136 HP ZBook 8 G1i 16-inch units (Ultra 7 265H processor, RTX 500 Ada 4GB graphics), each with an HP 3y Onsite w/DMR MWS Warranty.

The total cost for 272 computers will be $748,850.64.
These laptops will equip NIAID staff through the Centralized Computer Acquisition, Configuration, and Distribution Program, established in July 2008 to ensure compliance with USGCB/FDCC security standards, streamline purchases, standardized hardware, and reduce total cost of ownership. The acquisition is authorized under FAR Subpart 16.5, with brand name justification per FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(B), limiting consideration to HP products. NIAID determined this investment8 supports core mission functions and incorporates security into system architecture and budgeting. NITAAC CIO-CS will be used for this acquisition. If this purchase is not made, NIAID staff will lack updated laptops, hinder equipment replacement cycles and impact productivity. Outdated devices would increase cybersecurity risks, maintenance costs, and noncompliance with federal IT and security standards, ultimately impacting NIAID's operational effectiveness and ability to support its mission.
