How to Win NIH Contracts
Winning contracts with National Institutes of Health starts with understanding their procurement priorities and having a strong SAM.gov registration. Ensure your entity profile lists the NAICS codes relevant to NIH's mission and that your capabilities statement highlights past performance in similar work.
If you hold small business certifications, look for set-aside opportunities from NIH. These contracts limit competition to certified firms, giving you a significant advantage. Many NIH contracts also use GSA Schedule vehicles and government-wide acquisition contracts (GWACs), so consider obtaining relevant contract vehicles.
