A research request was recently provided to OS AI from an equity backed mid-tier IT and management consultancy and CIO-SP4 Prime bidder, looking for details and insight related to a potential FY 2023 recompete of this Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) National Institutes of Health (NIH) contract.  

We at OrangeSlices AI do believe in the need for more and better-informed competition, so provided below are 1) opportunity details provided by the requestor; 2) some key points of contact; 3) related pursuit/capture data; and 4) when possible, projected odds of this contract going back to the incumbent.

  • OS AI Note: NITAAC recently announced “an extension of the CIO-SP3 Small Business Government-Wide Acquisition Contract (GWAC) through 4/29/23 on current modifications.” Monitor updates related to this GWAC here.  
  • Expected Competition Date: Fiscal Year 2023 – date tbd  
  • OS AI Note: The current period of performance is identified as expected to run into early 2024, with a projected solicitation in late 2023 if this is recompeted.
