The National Institutes of Health Information Technology Acquisition and Assessment Center (NITAAC) announced on January 5 that it is reducing fees up to 35% for its popular Government-Wide Acquisition Contracts (GWACs).
The lower NIH Contract Access Fees (NCAF) will be as follows:
CIO-SP3 – reduced from 1% to .65%
CIO-SB3 Small Business – reduced from .75% to .55%
CIO-CS – reduced from .50 to .35%
NITAAC fees are now lower than other comparable IT contracts. The success of CIO-SP3, CIO-SP3 Small Business, CIO-CS, and value-added services like Assisted Acquisitions, Customer Support, and Government-Wide Strategic Solutions is what enabled NITAAC to lower its fees while continuously improving the program. In the past year, NITAAC expanded services to offer Assisted Acquisition Services to all Department of Defense agencies, and Government-Wide Strategic Solutions under CIO-CS to all federal agencies.
“I’m so glad to be able to offer further savings to our government-wide customers,” said Robert Coen, Program Director at NITAAC. “We can help our clients stretch their dollars much further when they choose NITAAC for their IT acquisitions.”
According to Mr. Coen, “We’re doing all we can to improve efficiencies in our own program, so we can pass those savings along to our government-wide customers. We don’t believe in cutting corners on customer service, and everything we’ve done in the last year proves it. When you can combine better services with lower fees as we have, you are truly delivering value to your customers.”
