Contractors will understand the mission, mandate, and vision of NIH and its Institutes and Centers and shall furnish goods and services after making competitive proposals and being awarded a task or service order under the resultant contracts. All task orders will be from the National Institutes of Health and its 27 component agencies. The Government will require a number of contract types and terms, including but not limited to firm fixed-price, cost reimbursement, labor hour, or time and material. NIH reserves the right to make supplemental awards or use other acquisitions sources and procedures if and when such action is determined to be in the best interest of the Government.

The period of performance for task and service orders awarded under the effort will not exceed five years from date of award. The effort is expected to commence with a pre-award conference held for the benefit of prospective vendors. The meeting will facilitate a clear understanding of the scope of the Government’s requirements and work to be accomplished and will also provide offering firms with an opportunity to obtain clarification of procedures to be used.

The National Institutes of Health and its component Institutes and Centers (ICs) are engaged in diverse communications activities reflective of profound shifts in American demographics and a continuously changing communication landscape. Programmatic activities range from answering questions through consumer-oriented public affairs clearinghouses to the development of national exhibit programs and comprehensive public awareness, education, and prevention campaigns. NIH and its component Institutes and Centers will also use this master contract to purchase comprehensive communication, evaluation, and social marketing services. We encourage all small business concerns, including 8(a) small business and/or small qualified small business concerns [including Small Disadvantaged Businesses (SDB), Woman-owned Small Businesses (WOSB), Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) Small Businesses, Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (VOSB) and Service-Disabled Veteran-owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB] to add your name to the interested vendors list.
