- Provisions for Commercial Items Specifications Brand Name Justification This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation number for this requirement is NIH-OLAO-OD3-RFQ3842754 and this is a RFQ. The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-83. This acquisition will be processed as a fixed price requirement and is not a small business set-aside. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code for this acquisition is 541519, and the small-business size standard is $27.5 million. The National Institutes of Health is in need of renewing their VirusTotal Malware Intelligence Services (VTMIS). VirusTotal has a unique malware data set and proprietary API to access their commercial intelligence that is not available through any other source. Other government agencies that NIH collaborates with have integrated VTMIS into their workflow, and NIH will benefit by being able to search and share on the same data set used by other agencies. We are only able to leverage VTMIS workflow, code and examples shared by other agencies if we have access to VTMIS. We need the VTMIS because there is an immediate need for this data to aid in locating additional intrusion activity/actors that are known to target NIH; targeting by adversaries that degrades NIH mission & National Security. VTMIS can support active and open LE/CI (Law Enforcement and Counterintelligence) cases. This is a fixed-price requirement and is a brand - name only purchase.
