Using the CIO-SP3 SB Contract

Prior to award, CIO-SP3 SB contract holders underwent a comprehensive review process, including dimensions such as technical capabilities, past performance, price, and cost. Such screening enables customers to buy quickly and with confidence. The NITAAC online system (e-GOS) streamlines the acquisition process with automatic distribution, built-in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) guidance, and more. Customers can select awardees in as little as 30 days.

Processing Fee

NIH is required to collect an NIH Contract Access Fee (NCAF) from its customers to reimburse the cost of operating and administering the CIO-SP3 SB contract. NIH has determined this fee to be 0.75% charged against all task orders and applied to the total award value for contractor performance. The total award value is all-inclusive: labor; fees, including award fees and incentive pools; and other direct costs (ODC), including travel. The NCAF is included in all proposals as a separate contract line item.
