About the Contract

Executive Summary

The CIO-SP3 SB contract is intended to provide IT solutions and services as defined in FAR 2.101(b) and further clarified in the Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996. Under this IDIQ contract, agencies can acquire a wide range of IT services and solutions for the Institutes and Centers of the NIH, for the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), and for all other federal agencies. These IT services include health, health science, and biomedical-related IT services to meet scientific, health, administrative, operational, managerial, and information management requirements.

The CIO-SP3 SB contract also contains general IT services because healthcare systems are increasingly integrated within a broader IT architecture, requiring a systems approach to their implementation and a sound infrastructure for their operation. The focus of this contract is to provide government agencies with a mechanism for quick ordering of needed IT solutions and services at equitable and reasonable prices, and to give government agencies a mechanism to help meet socio-economic contracting goals.
