DLH to Provide IT Support to National Cancer Institute Under $138M Contract

The National Institutes of Health has awarded DLH Holdings a potential five-and-a-half-year, $138 million contract to provide IT services to the National Cancer Institute.

IT services under the contract include hardware configuration, software management, ServiceNow support, network connectivity, cybersecurity, technology refresh and desktop platform engineering. Zach Parker, president and CEO of DLH, said the contract builds on a longstanding partnership between the company and the NCI Center for Biomedical Informatics and IT.

The contract has an initial value of $52 million and an $86 million option for additional IT services, DLH said Thursday.

The company has recently provided IT and data services to NIH components, securing two major contracts in 2023.

In August, DLH secured a spot on a five-year, $85 million blanket purchase agreement to provide IT modernization services to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. The BPA supports the NHLBI’s plan to establish low/no-code capabilities and a zero trust cybersecurity architecture.

In May, the company received a potential five-year, $18.6 million contract to continue providing IT services for the National Institute on Aging.
