About this forecast
The National Institutes of Health, through its National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB), forecasts a new total small business set-aside requirement for Mission Contract Stewardship and Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) Development Framework Support under NAICS 541611, with an estimated solicitation release on August 1, 2026 and an estimated award on September 1, 2026. The contractor will develop tools, templates, guides, trackers, and repeatable processes for contract portfolio review, fiscal stewardship, acquisition readiness, and COR readiness, and will track deliverables, funding, option periods, and closeout status. Work consists of advisory, analytical, documentation, coordination, and tracking support under federal direction; it is not general staffing or broad professional services, and all outputs remain draft or support work for federal review and approval. The contractor will not make decisions, commit funds, select vendors, approve actions, or perform inherently governmental functions.
The estimated award value range is $1.5 million to $3.0 million. Other NIH Institutes and Centers may access the support only when they document how the requested work directly supports their own mission or program needs. Kishan Patel, Contracting Officer, can be reached at kishan.patel@nih.gov or +12406695157, and Amber Elia is also listed at amber.elia@nih.gov.
Forecast text
The National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering needs contractor support to strengthen its internal contract stewardship, Contracting Officer's Representative development, contract portfolio review, fiscal stewardship, and acquisition readiness capabilities. The support will help the Institute develop tools, templates, guides, trackers, and repeatable processes for managing its contract portfolio; improve the quality and completeness of materials submitted to the National Institutes of Health Office of Acquisitions; track deliverables, funding, option periods, closeout status, and other contract information; and support timely identification of issues requiring federal review. The contractor will provide advisory, analytical, documentation, coordination, and tracking support under federal direction. This requirement is not for general staffing or broad professional services; it is intended to help the Institute build and sustain an internal framework for stronger contract oversight, better Contracting Officer's Representative readiness, improved visibility into active and expiring contract actions, and responsible stewardship of federal resources. Other National Institutes of Health Institutes and Centers may access the support only when they document how the requested work directly supports their own mission or program needs. All contractor work will remain draft or support work for federal review and approval, and the contractor will not make decisions, commit funds, select vendors, approve actions, or perform inherently governmental functions.
