Questions people ask about NIH contracts

How do I find NIH contract opportunities?

National Institutes of Health posts its solicitations on SAM.gov, and its smaller supply orders can also appear on DIBBS. This page lists the ones that are open right now, soonest deadline first, and leaves out award notices, sole source intents and notices that only existing contract holders can answer.

What does NIH buy?

Laboratory supplies and equipment, animal care, clinical and research support services, scientific IT and facility work on its campuses.

Can a small business win a NIH contract?

Yes. Of the 28 open notices shown here, 2 are reserved for small business or for a certification such as 8(a), HUBZone, WOSB or SDVOSB. You need an active SAM.gov registration and a Unique Entity ID before you can be awarded anything.

What should I know before bidding on NIH work?

Many NIH requirements are small and repeat every year, which suits a specialist supplier. Its IT and biomedical services often run through the NITAAC government wide contracts.
