  • This is just the latest NIH win for DLH and follows a $14M Epidemiology Support and Professional Services Contract.  
  • This J&A detailed the rationale for an 8-month extension to incumbent Social and Scientific Systems with intel to include: “NIEHS is requesting that a short-term sole source task order of eight (8) months be awarded to the incumbent for the continuation of the support services being provided under the current contract. This short-term sole source effort will enable NIEHS to continue to receive essential mathematical and statistical support services while also allowing for a managed transition from the current contract to a new 5-year contract which is anticipated to be competed on GSA MAS for Professional Services. This sole source requirement is a means to achieve continuity as NIEHS executes the next competitive action.” Read more here. 
  • The company lays claim to a broad range of clients across the Federal Civilian and military health sectors to include HHS ACF, CDC, HRSA and VA. See the complete list here. 
  • DLH’s leadership team includes President and CEO Zachary ParkerHelene Fisher, President, DLH Mission Services & Solutions; Chief Growth Officer, Jackie Everett; and President, Public Health & Scientific Research, Jeanine Christian.
