Government Contracting
Federal, state and local governments offer businesses the opportunity to sell billions of dollars worth of products and services. Many government agencies require that some percentage of the procurements be set aside for small businesses.  

4Ci is always looking for opportunities to establish business relationship with corporations, both as Prime and Subcontractor.

CIO SP3 Small Business Overview

The federal government is committed to changing its business processes to achieve a world class standard of excellence. This is being accomplished by adopting best business practices and the latest technology to create a more efficient, citizen-centered federal government.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has been designated as an executive agent for purposes of providing Information Technology (IT) to the government. Under this authority, NIH established three Government-Wide Acquisition Contracts (GWACs) to support the full range of IT needs across the federal government, with a particular emphasis on agencies like NIH and its parent, HHS, that are involved in health care and clinical and biological research.

The NIH Information Technology Acquisition and Assessment Center (NITAAC) took its first major step in developing a successor GWAC to its current Chief Information Officer - Solutions and Partners 2 Innovations (CIO-SP2i) and the Image World 2 New Dimensions (IW2nd) GWACs, which are both expiring in December 2010 by posting a Request for Information (RFI) in FedBizOps on April 30, 2008. The successor contract will continue to support government IT efforts with a focus on health and biomedical-related IT services in support of federal agencies' health missions.

The RFI solicited feedback from both industry and the government as to the technology envisioned under the successor contract and best practices to be employed as well as potential new sources for these types of requirements.  Based partly on the feedback received, the government developed the attached draft Request for Proposal (RFP) and is looking to industry for any feedback prior to issuing the formal RFP. The resulting GWAC will be open to all qualified contractors.

The government intends to solicit a second GWAC that will be set-aside for small business with essentially the same scope.  A separate Sources Sought announcement will be issued for CIO-SP3 Small Business, but NITAAC does not intend to issue a draft RFP for that GWAC. Instead, NITAAC will consider the feedback under this announcement in developing both the final CIO-SP3 GWAC and the CIO-SP3 Small Business GWAC RFPs.
