NHLBI Workshop/Conference Support

A labor-hour structure is the most appropriate contract type for the award of the task order, as there are no tasks that can be accurately estimated with any reasonable degree of certainty. It is only possible to establish an estimated number of labor hours and labor categories. A labor-hour type contract will afford the Government greater control over funding decisions that hold the contractor accountable for performance. A firm-fixed-price (FFP) type contract could potentially result in a higher price to the Government because the contractor would have to account for these uncertainties in price.

The NHLBI requires planning, programmatic, and logistical support services to assist in preparing for and conducting the foregoing activities, including project planning, developing and implementing run of show, coordinating and making speaker and attendee travel arrangements and preparing reports and other necessary documentation.
