The troubled $50 billion IT contract vehicle has faced hundreds of protests that the agency could never fully resolve.
Is anyone really surprised that the NIH IT Acquisition and Assessment Center has cancelled CIO-SP4 after years of protests?
In a filing with the U.S. Court of Federal Claims on Friday, NITAAC explained that cancelling the contract is in line with President Trump’s executive order, Eliminating Waste and Saving Taxpayer Dollars by Consolidating Procurement.
“As a result of these efforts, HHS has shifted its focus away from re-evaluation of existing offers,” the agency told the court.
NITAAC also plans to extend CIO-SP3 for another year, which would push its expiration date until April 29, 2027.
