The CIO-SP3 Small Business Contracts were originally awarded in waves and are now being additionally extended through 4/29/25. This will ensure there is always a NITAAC CIO-SP3 Small Business IT Services/Solutions Contract available while CIO-SP4 is awarded and onboarded.

The Period of Performance (POP) for each task order placed under the contract will be specified in the individual task order. Task order options, if included at the initial issuance of the task order, may be exercised after the expiration date of the GWAC; however, no task order (including task order options) may extend more than 60 months beyond the expiration of the GWAC. Therefore, there is an additional POP of five years available on each task order awarded before the expiration date of 4/29/25.

The NIH Contract Access Fee (NCAF) for the CIO-SP3 Small Business contract is .55% with a cap of $150,000 for any task order base or optional period (not to exceed 12 months) with funding in excess of $27 Million.
