Note: The current CIO-SP2 contracts may contain inconsistencies with information provided in this guide. These inconsistencies will be corrected by contract modifications and/or future revisions to these guidelines as soon as possible. The Chief Information Officer-Solutions and Partners (CIO-SP2) Task Order Guidelines contain the procedures for using the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Information Technology Acquisition and Assessment Center's (NITAAC) CIO-SP2 contracts. These guidelines are presented from the customer's perspective, however, in some cases we have included vendor and/or NITAAC's responsibilities for a more complete description of the process. The CIO-SP2 contracts were awarded under the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act (FASA) and Information Technology Management Reform Act (ITMRA) which require that the prime contractors be given a Fair Opportunity to be Considered for Task Order Awards. The contracts are structured as Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contracts, using task orders for acquisition of specified services. These contracts are available to the NIH as well as to any Federal Government Agency. Procedures for contract use are detailed in the Guidelines. Questions about the Guidelines and all correspondence and official deliverables related to task order establishment and administration should be directed to the contracts team as provided below. Questions about all financial related matters should be directed to the financial team as provided below.
