The National Institutes of Health Information Technology Acquisition and Assessment Center has extended for six months the Chief Information Officer-Solutions and Partners 3 and CIO-SP3 Small Business governmentwide acquisition contracts to address the bid protests filed against a potential 10-year, $50 billion follow-on contract for IT platforms and services, FCW reported Friday.
The Government Accountability Office has until July to decide on the outstanding 119 protests against CIO-SP4.
“The driving force behind the extension itself is that we did not want to have a lapse between CIO-SP3 and CIO-SP4,” Ricky Clark, deputy director of NITAAC, told the publication.
“It was extended so we can get through the current, we’ll call them, ‘array’ of protests that we’ve had against the CIO-SP4 vehicle,” Clark added.
With the extension, federal agencies can award task orders under CIO-SP3 through Oct. 29, extending the five-year period of performance for such orders to fiscal year 2029.
CIO-SP4 is a GWAC with a five-year base term and five option years and is meant to meet the needs of agencies for IT platforms and services across 10 task areas, including biomedical research, health care and health sciences; digital government and cloud services; cybersecurity; and software development.
