Description
The National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) intends to award a modification to increase the ceiling of an existing Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract for the Innovation Funnel Commercialization Center. The objective of this requirement is to provide product commercialization expertise and resources to various NIH translational activities. The contract will require professional services support across a range of commercialization domains to NIH translational activities. Some key responsibilities include recruitment of professional services consultants, client services support for subcontracting and consultant services, and maintenance of an enterprise-level automated management software solution.
• The contract is for a single vendor and requires specialized domain expertise to assess and mitigate risks at various stages of technology development.
• The vetting and management of professional service consultants and vendors is a critical component of the parallelization effort to speed innovation.
• The IDIQ ceiling value will be increased through a modification action to accommodate core operational activities outlined in the Statement of Work (SOW).
• The contract is part of the Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics (RADx-Tech) initiative, an innovation funnel aimed at increasing the speed of development, commercialization, and implementation of health technologies.
