Justification for Cancellation of Solicitation No. CS-119444-O
Solicitation # CS-119444-O
The National Institutes of Health, under the Department of Health and Human Services, canceled Solicitation No. CS-119444-O issued through the NITAAC CIO-SP3 GWAC vehicle on June 25, 2026, due to strategic misalignment with the agency’s evolving enterprise IT centralization initiative and updated cybersecurity mandates. The original solicitation sought comprehensive IT services including application modernization, cloud and SharePoint migration, cybersecurity operations, network management, infrastructure support, software development, and PMO oversight, all intended to advance NIH’s digital transformation goals. However, the scope was deemed outdated in light of new federal directives such as Executive Order 14028, OMB M-22-09 on Zero Trust Architecture, and Executive Order 14240, which necessitate a broader, more integrated approach under revised governance frameworks. The cancellation occurred prior to any offeror submissions, evaluations, or award, meaning no pricing, contract value, or performance timelines were established, and no special contract requirements, clauses, or evaluation criteria were finalized or enforced. The place of performance remains Bethesda, Maryland, with the Office of Acquisition and Logistics Management maintaining oversight through Contracting Officer Justin M. Borden. The solicitation was not set aside for any socioeconomic category and was open to all businesses. All intended deliverables, standards, and compliance obligations tied to the original Performance Work Statement are no longer viable, requiring a re-compete under a consolidated IT services vehicle aligned with current federal IT and cybersecurity policies.
