A research request was sent to OS AI in late July from a relatively new CIO-SP3 SB Prime and rapidly emerging NIH partner looking for a list of and introduction to some of the top partner [and/or competitor] options related to a potential FY 2023 recompete of a 5-year task to provide Information Technology & Infrastructure Services to the NIH’s National Cancer Institute (NCI)’s Center for Biomedical Informatics and Information Technology (CBIIT).  

We at OrangeSlices AI believe in the need for more and better-informed competition, so provided below are some of the details shared with us by the research requestor, followed by some high-level intel, and a list of some of the firms drawing the most views this week, by Government and industry leaders, on the OrangeSlices AI consultant directory in relation to efforts in support of the National Institutes of Health.
