Data Management and Sharing Plan Development

The contract requires the development and implementation of a compliant data management and sharing plan for research data that aligns with the policies of the National Institutes of Health and the Food and Drug Administration. The work involves creating a structured approach to handling, storing, preserving, and sharing research data throughout the lifecycle of the project, ensuring adherence to federal standards for transparency, accessibility, and data integrity. The plan must account for ethical, legal, and technical considerations including data formats, metadata standards, access controls, and long-term preservation strategies to meet NIH and FDA expectations. This is a subcontract under the Department of Health and Human Services, with the Food and Drug Administration as the overseeing agency. The solicitation was posted on July 20, 2026, with a response deadline of August 20, 2026. The work falls under NAICS code 519130, which pertains to other data processing services, indicating that the contractor will likely provide specialized expertise in data governance and information systems rather than direct research. There is no set-aside designation specified, and performance location details are not provided, meaning the work may be conducted remotely or at the contractor’s facility. The contract is time-sensitive and requires a comprehensive, policy-driven framework to ensure federal compliance from the outset of research activities.
