The National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) intends to award to Zero Trust, LLC, 6710A Rockledge Dr., Ste. 400, Bethesda, MD, 20817-2847, a two-month bridge contract with an estimated value not to exceed $700,000 titled “NCATS Cybersecurity Services Program Support.” This will be a firm-fixed-price contract with a period of performance of July 29, 2024, through October 15, 2024. The scope and objective of this acquisition is to continue to provide cybersecurity support for NCATS for an additional 2.5 months while a recompetition for a new contract award is conducted as a competitive, open market total small business set-aside with an expected award date early in fiscal year 2025 on or around October 16, 2024. Additionally, this acquisition will avoid the following risk that would result if these services ended abruptly: the security of sensitive information involved in active and ongoing projects would be jeopardized. This includes personally identifiable information (PII) and millions of identifiable electronic health records contained within the National Covid Cohort Collaborative (N3C) which are utilized by the collaborators within this cloud environment. In the event of a breach of the N3C data, the programs and reputation of NCATS would be irreparably harmed. It would prematurely terminate the N3C program and jeopardize the work of hundreds of active projects with collaborators around the world.
