GCP Billing Acct Setup via Reseller Partner for NIH All of Us Database

The Office of Women’s Health has funded a project requiring access to the NIH All of Us database, which necessitates the establishment of a Google Cloud Platform billing account through a reseller partner. Due to federal procurement requirements, the researcher cannot use a personal or institutional credit card to cover usage costs, as payment must be processed through an officially authorized contract mechanism. The procurement process is structured to ensure compliance with federal contracting protocols, necessitating a third-party vendor to set up and manage the billing account under government supervision. This arrangement allows researchers to perform computational tasks on the database while ensuring all charges are accurately tracked and billed through the approved federal contracting channel. The opportunity is forecasted under the NAICS code 561110, indicating it relates to administrative management and general management services, aligning with the need for a reseller to handle billing and administrative functions on behalf of the government. The Food and Drug Administration is listed as the agency overseeing this procurement, though the contracting officer has not yet been designated. The point of contact for acquisition-related inquiries is the NCTR Acquisition Liaison, whose email is provided for communications. The requirement remains in the forecast stage, with no solicitation number assigned yet, indicating this is a pre-solicitation notice designed to inform potential vendors of an upcoming opportunity before formal bidding commences.
