NIH Center Seeks Contractor to Support Cybersecurity Program

The National Institutes of Health is looking for potential offerors of cybersecurity program management support services for its National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences.

NIH said in a solicitation notice posted Friday it plans to award an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract for operational support to the newly formed cybersecurity services division under the center's information technology resources branch.

According to the statement of work, a selected contractor will help NCATS complete discrete tasks such as reaching “authority to operate” milestone achievement goals.

Contract work will also include support for NCAT’s extramural research programs aimed at accelerating the development, testing and deployment of technologies to help researchers discover therapeutic and diagnostic approaches.

NCATS seeks to implement the Department of Homeland Security’s Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation approach as well as hybrid IT resources including on-premises and cloud infrastructure as part of the effort.

Interested parties must submit responses to the solicitation by Aug. 17.
