Company to deliver the entire range of IT support services to
the NIAID, including cybersecurity, AI, and data management and

ECS, an IT systems integrator focused on data and AI,
cybersecurity, and enterprise transformation solutions, and an ASGN
(NYSE: ASGN) brand, has been named a prime contractor on the
National Institutes of Health (NIH) National Institute of Allergy
and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Enabling and Advancing Technologies
(NEAT) blanket purchase agreement. This five-year, multi-award
contract vehicle with the NIH, which represents new work for ECS,
positions the company to deliver the entire range of IT support
services to the NIAID, including cyber infrastructure, software
engineering, cybersecurity, AI, and data management and analytics
solutions.
ECS currently performs business operations support and
analytical support services for the National Heart, Lung, and Blood
Institute (NHLBI) and provides cybersecurity services to the NIH
Information Security and Assurance Office (ISAO) within the NIH
Center for Information Technology (CIT).
The new work, overseen by the NIH NIAID Office of Cyber
Infrastructure and Computational Biology (OCICB), will support the
NIAID’s mission of conducting basic and applied research to better
understand, treat, and ultimately prevent infectious, immunologic,
and allergic diseases. NIAID expects to spend nearly $1.1 billion
via this contract vehicle over the next five years.
“Building on our decades-long partnership with the NIH, this
award represents an important next step in IT innovation and
advancement for NIAID’s globally impactful mission,” said John
Heneghan, president of ECS. “ECS is proud to support NIAID’s
efforts to lead the world in scientific research that will improve
our understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of infectious,
immunologic, and allergic diseases.”
“With this award, NIAID will enhance scientific research and
development through innovation and the augmentation of its IT
ecosystem, leveraging the best of cutting-edge technologies,
platforms, and access to top IT professional talent,” said Asad
Akhtar, vice president of Health and Human Services at ECS. “ECS
has demonstrated our ability to support NIH’s most critical
modernization efforts, and we are excited to partner with NIAID to
deliver on our core capabilities of software engineering,
infrastructure, and data management and analytics. We look forward
to delivering IT support services across the Institute and helping
to safeguard the public from outbreaks, diseases, and other public
health crises.”
