DESCRIPTION
On April 30, PSC is hosting a virtual session with Brian Goodger, Associate Director of NIH’s Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations, to discuss the Chief Information Officer-Solutions and Partners 4 (CIO-SP4) IDIQ contract vehicle. This event provides an opportunity for government and industry to share insights and information that will result in a better solicitation process, a better contract vehicle, and improved acquisition outcomes to meet future IT needs.
On March 27, the National Institutes of Health Information Technology Acquisition and Assessment Center (NITAAC) posted the draft request for proposals for CIO-SP4. Responses to the draft solicitation are due by May 15. The final RFP is scheduled to be released in December 2020. For more information on the draft RFP, click here.
Several key questions related to this new acquisition vehicle will be addressed:
* How does CIO-SP3 and CIO-SP4 compare? What are the detailed changes expected from the previous contract?
* What are the key updates for the new contract?
* What are the top 5-10 mistakes contractors made from CIO-SP3 that prevented them from getting an award?
* What are some of the top lessons you learned from CIO-SP3 and what are you doing to mitigate them in CIO-SP4?
* What insights should prospective bidders consider from the previous vehicle structure and operations?
To facilitate a more informed discussion, please submit a question via this form by 5:00 pm on Tuesday, April 28.
