About this forecast
The National Institutes of Health is forecasting a new requirement for Superna EyeGlass for Isilon disaster recovery and security renewal, with an estimated solicitation release date of July 1, 2026 and an estimated award date of August 1, 2026. Superna serves as the primary disaster recovery and continuity of operations orchestration platform for NHLBI administrative and research data on PowerScale (Isilon) clusters, automating failover from the Bethesda, Maryland production environment to the Sterling, Virginia disaster recovery data center during outages, cyber incidents, or site-level disruptions. The requirement supports NHLBI's COOP mandates and protects intramural research data that the source describes as mission-critical.
The estimated award value range is $25,000 to $250,000 under a Total Small Business set-aside, classified under NAICS 518210, Computing Infrastructure Providers, Data Processing, Web Hosting, and Related Services. The platform manages approximately 14.6 petabytes of production data. Points of contact are Contracting Officer Shirley Ruiz-Lundgren (shirley.ruiz-lundgren@nih.gov, +1 (301) 827-7529) and Susan Haddad (susan.haddad@nih.gov).
Forecast text
Superna serves as the primary disaster recovery (DR) and continuity of operations (COOP) orchestration platform protecting all NHLBI-generated administrative and research data stored across PowerScale (Isilon) clusters. It manages approximately 14.6 petabytes of production data and is engineered to automatically fail over operations from the Bethesda, MD production environment to the Sterling, VA disaster recovery data center in the event of an outage, cyber incident, or site-level disruption. Rather than relying on manual intervention during a crisis, Superna automates the failover process, significantly reducing recovery time objectives (RTO) and ensuring near-immediate access to critical data. This automation materially reduces operational risk. Superna standardizes and orchestrates the process, improving reliability, auditability, and consistency with federal continuity and resilience requirements. It strengthens NHLBI's ability to meet COOP mandates while maintaining the integrity and availability of sensitive intramural research data. Because the PowerScale storage platform houses all intramural experimental and research data, the secure and continuous operation of this environment is mission-critical. Superna is not an ancillary tool; it is a foundational control that ensures resilience of the storage ecosystem. Without it, recovery from a major outage would be slower, more manual, and more vulnerable to error-directly increasing risk to ongoing research, regulatory compliance, and institutional operations.
