The CIO-SP2 contract provides Information Technology hardware, software, systems, and services in support of IT solutions within NIH and other Government Agencies. The Government can procure these services in nine primary task areas, as follows:
Task Area 1. Chief Information Officer (CIO) Support
Task Area 2. Outsourcing Task Area 3. IT Operations and Maintenance Task Area 4. Integration Services Task Area 5. Critical Infrastructure Protection and Information Assurance Task Area 6. Digital Government Task Area 7. Enterprise Resource Planning Task Area 8. Clinical Support, Research, and Studies Task Area 9. Software Development Contract and task order management is a mandatory element for all task orders placed under the CIOSP2 contract. The objective of contract and task order management is to provide the program management, project control and contract administration necessary to manage a high volume, multiple contract type task order process for a large, diversified team so that the cost, schedule and quality requirements of each order are tracked, communicated to the government, and ultimately attained. The use of commercially available automated tools (for example - a LAN or Web based contract task management system) and the application of expertise on processes and metrics that support task order management are encouraged to achieve the above objectives. The objective of the tools is to provide quicker access, improved accuracy, and enhanced accessibility for contractors/clients, real-time monitoring of status/deliverables, tracking the quality of work products and gauging overall customer satisfaction. Task Area 1. Chief Information Officer (CIO) Support Numerous laws, regulations, and policies have been enacted in the last several years to include the Paperwork Reduction Act, the Computer Security Act, Presidential Decision Directive (PDD) #63, Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA), and the Clinger-Cohen Act. In particular, the Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996 (P.L. 104-106, Division E-Information Technology Management Reform, Title LI-Responsibility For Acquisitions Of Information Technology) established the Chief Information Officer (CIO) position in federal agencies. The objective of CIO Support is to provide support to CIO's in the implementation of these laws, regulations, and polices. New CIO practices have evolved as they work to implement these laws, regulations, and policies. A non-exhaustive list of examples of the type of work to be performed under this task area is:
