Acquisition Planning Services
The Acquisition Planning and Specifications Branch (APSB), Division of Acquisition Programs offers their services to any NIH ordering official/activity through a multifaceted approach that includes every acquisition phase from the planning stage through the source/contractor selection phase. Our office will assist program officials in establishing the most effective and expedient acquisition plans that will meet their mission objectives and their day-to-day operational needs. Your planning request may be as simple as the need for assistance in completing the acquisition request documents. No request is too small – we are here to serve you! By getting this office involved during the planning stage, the specifications/statement of work or the JOFOC can be developed before the requirement goes to the proper purchasing/contracting function. This will save valuable acquisition processing time and create a healthy rapport between the program official and the acquisition personnel. By contacting the Branch Chief, 301-435-3916, an Equipment Specialist will be assigned to work with you. For further information, contact William Brown, Chief, APSB, 301-435-3916.
