ICF to Support NIH Biomedical Library’s IT Operations; Mark Lee Quoted

ICF has secured a position on a potential three-year, $49M blanket purchase agreement to provide information technology services to a biomedical library under the National Institutes of Health.

The BPA has one base year plus two one-year options and covers support for National Library of Medicine programs, databases and customer service platforms such as MedlinePlus, Bookshelf, ClinicalTrials.gov and PubMed, ICF said Monday.

The company also seeks to help NLM manage collection, storage, analysis and dissemination of biomedical, consumer and public health data via the BPA.

“We are excited for the opportunity to continue to contribute to the collective body of knowledge that helps drive public and personal health decisions,” said Mark Lee, senior vice president and public sector lead at ICF.

ICF’s partnership with NLM began in 2009 and most recently included clinical-trial support for COVID-19 research initiatives.
