Due to the complexity and nature of this requirement, the extent of specimen accrual, maintenance, data management, storage and distribution of the brain tissues is unknown. As a result, uncertainties involved in contract performance do not permit costs to be estimated with sufficient accuracy to use any type of fixed-price contract. Therefore, a cost reimbursement type contract was used for this acquisition due to the absence of precise specifications and difficulties in estimating costs with accuracy.

Modification to Extend Services for Scientific, Operations and Administrative Resources (SOAR) Contract Program

Solicitation # OLAO-SSD-SOAR-NOI

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) intends to negotiate and award non-competitive modifications to extend the Scientific, Operations and Administrative Resources (SOAR) contract program. This program consists of five indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts held by Axle Informatics LLC, Gap Solutions Inc., Kelly Services Inc., Guidehouse Digital LLC, and 22nd Century Technologies Inc. The primary objective is to ensure continuity of specialized scientific professional services across 29 NIH organizations, including the Office of the Director, 27 Institutes and Centers, and ARPA-H, while the agency finalizes a strategic procurement consolidation effort and a competitive follow-on acquisition. The proposed extension includes a basic ordering period from June 22, 2026, to June 21, 2027, with two optional six-month extensions extending through June 21, 2028. Additionally, the government seeks to revise FAR 52.216-22 to allow task orders to extend up to 36 months beyond the parent contract end date. While the combined maximum contract ordering value remains unchanged at $3,600,713,546, the estimated total dollar value for orders through the end of the extension is $2,174,615,674. The government projects the award of these modifications in April 2026. The SOAR program provides critical scientific staffing, such as bioinformatics scientists and molecular biologists, to support biomedical research and public health missions. The NIH has cited a critical need for these specific contract holders to avoid disruptions to ongoing research and patient diagnostics. Interested parties may submit capability statements and pricing information by March 5, 2027, although the government currently intends to proceed on a non-competitive basis with the existing holders.
