Forty small businesses have been determined to qualify for the first on-ramp for the $20 billion National Institutes of Health CIO-SP3 Small Business contract.
Forty companies have been qualified by the National Institutes of Health as potential winners of the first on ramp for the $20 billion NIH CIO-SP3 Small Business contract for IT integration and outsourcing support.
NIH released a pre-award notice listing the companies. They now have to clear any challenges to whether they actually are small businesses before the awards are finalized. Challengers have until March 5 to file their objections.
