Notice of Solicitation Cancellation for NIH Professional, Scientific and Technical Support Services
The contract would provide scientific and professional expertise to support NIH research priorities, covering basic, translational, and clinical research, vaccine development, BSL-2/3/4 laboratory work, ABSL-2/3/4 veterinary science, and bioinformatics. The requirement underwent multiple amendments that addressed offeror questions and revised attachments, including labor rate tables and hour quantities. Ultimately, the agency canceled the solicitation in light of a recent protest decision and is re-evaluating its acquisition strategy.
