Notice ID: 75N95021R00007
The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) Office of Acquisition, on behalf of the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS), intends to negotiate and award a contract modification with Axle Informatics, LLC, 6116 Executive Blvd, Suite 400, Rockville, MD 20852, to extend services for up to six months under Contract no. 75N95020C00010, NCATS Research Services Section Support 2.0 (RSSS 2.0), for day-to-day support services for NCATS’ scientific and technical systems.
Since March 2020, NCATS has focused its full resources on the COVID-19 emergency response. NCATS’ response has included intense intramural and extramural research as well as major collaborative efforts such as the National COVID Cohort Collaborative (N3C). The exigencies of this response delayed NCATS ability to engage with the recompetition of this requirement, as focus was on the successful performance and delivery of results and progress on its existing awards and programs including critical tasks supported under the existing RSS award. Additionally, separate urgent requirements utilizing emergency procedures needed to be immediately prioritized by NCATS and the NIDA Office of Acquisition.
This contract extension will provide continuation of the critical support for NCATS scientific and technical systems while the follow-on contract is solicited and awarded. The solicitation for the follow-on contract, NCATS Scientific and Technical Support Services (STSS), is anticipated to be released in early December 2020.
Axle Informatics was recently named to the updated list of NXT UP firms poised to make big waves in the Federal sector in 2020 and for years to come.
