Health Information Technology

The President's 2025 budget request for HHS is $144 Billion, a $14.8 Billion increased from 2024. The funds went towards innovative ways to boost cancer research, modernizing public health data systems and enhancing data access to address health disparities and improve food safety.

The budget included funding for the following:

• Accelerating technology to improve cancer detection and research
• Pursuing innovative health research and accelerating advancements for cancer treatment and prevention
• Modernizing public health data systems and better preparing them for future health emergencies
• Creating a Public Health Emergency Fund to ensure HHS has the capability to respond faster to emerging public health threats
• Collecting and evaluating sociodemographic data to address health disparities

No one is better positioned to help agencies award Health IT requirements than NITAAC.

As technology advances, Health IT continues to align with new and innovative ideas. In fact, the Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology recently announced a health IT strategy for the next several years with goals focused on artificial intelligence and public health and health equity in a secure environment. The National Institutes of Health Information Technology Acquisition and Assessment Center (NITAAC) and its contract holders are uniquely poised to help fulfill this strategy thanks to a unique health IT focus that we’ve maintained for over 25 years.

Our three Best in Class (BIC) Government-Wide Acquisition Contract (GWAC) vehicles for information technology products, services and solutions can be used by any federal agency, civilian or defense. Orders are awarded and managed through a fast, web-based Electronic Government Ordering System (e-GOS) for efficient research, competition and awards.

NITAAC has pre-screened and pre-qualified its Contract Holders to assure they have health IT expertise, and we’ve been doing it for over 25 years. Our contract holders have faced contractual tasks like those currently required in CIO-SP3 and CIO-SP3 Small Business, Task Area 1: IT Services for Biomedical Research, Health Sciences and Healthcare. And, while some of the technologies we represent are health specific, most are of such a general nature that we can offer them to all federal clients across all the task areas. In addition, through CIO-CS, we offer products, managed services and even technology-based medical equipment. Here are some of the technologies clients are asking for:
