About this forecast
The National Institutes of Health forecasts a new Total Small Business requirement under NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) for NIEHS to replace 41 aging top-of-rack network switches, with solicitation release and award both estimated for July 1, 2026. NIEHS is purchasing a complement of Cisco Nexus switches and network interface cards, along with the minimum required licensing and support services, to replace hardware nearing end of life that no longer meets current performance, reliability, or security needs. The investment is intended to sustain reliable data center network operations, reduce outage and security risk, and avoid continued dependence on unsupported hardware that threatens mission-critical research operations.
The estimated award value range is $1.5 million to $3.0 million. Points of contact are Kimesha Leake, Contracting Officer (kimesha.leake@nih.gov), and Ryan Terry (ryan.terry@nih.gov), both at the National Institutes of Health.
Forecast text
NIEHS must replace 41 aging top-of-rack network switches that are nearing end of life and no longer meet current performance, reliability, or security needs. To address this, NIEHS is purchasing a complement of Cisco Nexus switches and network interface cards along with the minimum required licensing and support services. This investment will ensure continued reliable data center network operations and reduce the risk of outages and security vulnerabilities. Without this purchase, NIEHS will remain dependent on unsupported hardware that increases the likelihood of system failures and disruption to mission-critical research operations.
