Why NITAAC makes sense for NIH.

NITAAC is NIH: The NIH Information Technology Acquisition and Assessment Center (NITAAC). Our Program office has two Government-Wide Acquisition Contracts (GWACs) that can help you get your information technology (IT) faster. NIH labs and offices come to us for standard or customized IT products, services and solutions because our prices are low and our process is fast.

What NIH can buy through NITAAC.

NITAAC GWACs provide you with both general and Health IT products and services from a group of pre-screened, highly qualified companies that have already been verified for integrity and expertise.

Intramural and extramural employees will find our contract holders were selected to meet research and health-related IT needs including:

  • Computers, servers and IT-related products for the lab or office
  • Software for routine or customized purposes in the lab or office
  • Customized Health IT Solutions for lab, extramural programs, CIO-specific functions and other internal NIH activities

From the Chief Information Officer (CIO) to the Primary Investigator (PI), customers can count on NITAAC for faster procurement of IT products, services and solutions.

How we benefit the NIH community.

  • Product pricing is lower than open market, less than or equal to GSA
  • Services at competitive, pre-competed prices that can be negotiated lower
  • Customer can select awardees based on their best value criteria
  • Customized terms and conditions relevant to your task or delivery order can be easily added
  • No special "Delegation of Procurement Authority" is needed from NITAAC to use our GWACs or online systems

Additional benefit from FAR Part 16

  • Two levels of contract competition for the greatest savings
  • No need to synopsize or post requirements according to FAR Subpart 16.505(a)(1)
