This Sources Sought Request for Information (RFI) seeks to identify qualified businesses capable of delivering a comprehensive suite of professional services in biomedical informatics, data science, information technology, software development, and artificial intelligence. The overarching goal is to support the NCI, and more broadly the NIH, in their efforts to coordinate and manage integrated IT and biomedical informatics initiatives.
The scope of this procurement encompasses a wide range of technical and consulting services, with an emphasis on advancing biomedical informatics and data-driven research through innovative IT solutions. Contractors are expected to provide expertise in software development, informatics support, and the application of artificial intelligence to biomedical challenges. The anticipated outcomes include enhanced coordination and management of IT resources, improved data science capabilities, and the development of advanced software tools to support the NIH’s mission in cancer research and related biomedical fields.
Key requirements for prospective contractors include demonstrated experience in scientific and technical consulting, particularly within the biomedical and health informatics domains. The NAICS code associated with this opportunity is 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services), indicating a focus on specialized consulting support rather than commodity IT services.
