NIH prepares to flip $39M+ NHGRI IT Services contract from unrestricted to small

The latest word out of the National Institutes of Health is that the agency plans to switch things up a bit, with the RFP for the recompete of the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) IT services contract being moved from unrestricted to a total small business set-aside action.   

The solicitation for this recompete is expected to be released in early April on GSA MAS. 

The incumbent is GDIT. The total Contract Value and Spend to date can be found here (75N92019F00193) The scope is known to include program and project management, collaborative technologies, desktop support, infrastructure operations, and scientific systems administration. 

This is a big win for small business.
