ATTENTION!

The highly anticipated Long-Term Administrative Support Contracts (LTASC) are now available! These contracts provide access to long-term (at least 12 months) administrative support. LTASC is not bound by the 120 day rule on temporary services and offers a single, consistent mechanism that can be used across all NIH ICs.
The LTASC contracts provide skilled and cost-effective personnel through competition among twenty-five qualified small business vendors, allowing the NIH to receive small business credit for task orders awarded. Labor categories range from Admin 1 (general clerical) to Admin 4 (executive assistant) to accommodate customer needs. In addition to providing administrative support for non-personal services, the contracts feature management infrastructure committed to customer satisfaction (see the LTASC vendors list).
An LTASC Program Support Team within OLAO is available to support ICs and COACs through the task order process. A user-friendly website has been established by the support team to provide customers easy access to ordering procedures, points of contact, answers to frequently asked questions, the electronic Government Ordering System (eGOS), and other useful information. Please visit the LTASC website at http://LTASC.od.nih.gov/.
