BUSINESS APPLICATION SOFTWARE

The National Institutes of Health, NIH Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) has a requirement for an Enterprise Architecture (EA) repository centralized storage system used to manage and organize all the architectural artifacts for an organization. These artifacts include data, models, diagrams, frameworks, roadmaps, capabilities, design patterns, etc. The repository serves as a single source of truth for the enterprise architecture, facilitating better decision-making, collaboration, and governance.

The Government intends to award a sole source purchase order to Carahsoft Technology Corp. The period of performance for this award will consist of a one year renewal purchase. This award will not exceed the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. Performance shall commence on or after receipt of the award.

This purchase is meant to acquire a technology solution that enables NIH to establish an EA Repository to support work on NIH Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) and broader NIH projects, tasks, and activities, with the immediate focus on an effort to Streamline the NIH Extramural Systems Portfolio. The scope of the Extramural project requires OCIO – more specifically Information Technology Architecture Office (ITAO) – to collaborate with applicable stakeholders to gather and analyze the data, create current-state and target-state architectures, and define a roadmap to rationalize the extramural grants ecosystem. Acquiring and implementing an EA Repository would facilitate the execution of this and other current ITAO initiatives by providing a centrally accessible and centrally managed location in which to store business, data, application, technology, and security architecture information and accurately document and analyze the relationships among these different information types.
