NIH Scientific & Technical Expertise & Acquisition Management (STEAM)
Solicitation # 75N98027R00012
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is conducting market research through a Sources Sought Notice for the Scientific and Technical Expertise Acquisition and Management (STEAM) program. This initiative aims to secure professional, scientific, and technical contractor support to advance biomedical and behavioral research. The program is structured into two primary task areas: Task Area A, which covers general professional, management, administrative, and IT support, and Task Area B, which focuses on highly specialized scientific services, including research and development, laboratory services, and clinical or animal-care roles. To be considered capable, respondents must demonstrate the ability to fill every labor category within their chosen task area; partial capability is insufficient. The program requires a high degree of specialization, particularly for Task Area B, which necessitates support for Biosafety Level (BSL) 1 through 4 and Animal Biosafety Level (ABSL) 1 through 4 environments. The anticipated period of performance is a five-year ordering period from April 2027 through April 2032. Services will be delivered via project-based task orders, with some requiring urgent mobilization within 48 hours. The government is specifically seeking information from small businesses regarding their socioeconomic status, capacity to manage a substantial volume of concurrent projects, and ability to handle cost-reimbursement contracting. Primary performance locations include Bethesda and Rockville, Maryland, the Washington DC metropolitan area, and Hamilton, Montana.
