Foreword

March 2001

The Chief Information Officer-Solutions and Partners 2 (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 prime contractor 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 the Clinger-Cohen Act that 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 using this contract to place orders are detailed in the following Guidelines. NIH ordering officials may also refer to the NIH Policy Manual, Chapter 6016-2 Task and Deliver Order Contracting (available at http://www3.od.nih.gov/oma/manualchapters/contracts/6016-2/), which further describes NIH policies on the use of task orders under ID/IQ contracts.

Questions about the Guidelines, all correspondence, official deliverables related to task order establishment, and administration should be directed to the CIO-SP2 Contracts Team, as provided below. Questions about all financial related matters should be directed to the Financial Team, as provided below.  See the Glossary in APPENDIX A for definitions of terms used in these Guidelines.
