Final NITAAC Industry Council Meeting Minutes

Date: November 15, 2001

Time: 11:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.

8(a) SBA credit on NITAAC contracts

• NITAAC has received a verbal agreement from SBA allowing 8(a) credit on CIO-SP2 and IW2 contracts. NITAAC is still waiting for the actual letter. No change from last meeting.

NITAAC MBPR

• NITAAC can now receive customer funds. The standard fee for NITAAC administering the funding and the task order is 1.5% above the 1% contract access fee, which is equal to 2.5% fee for all the NITAAC services.
• NITAAC will publicize this new service on their web site, and will be putting together a succinct bulleted list differentiating the services customers will receive for the additional 1.5% fee versus the current services covered under the 1% contract access fee.

NITAAC Online Ordering System

· NITAAC is still evaluating the application. NITAAC had completed the technical evaluation and is waiting to brief management personnel and Dr. Leamon Lee prior to moving forward.

ESC3

• RFI for vendor comments and suggestions are expected to be out late November or early December 2001.

Marketing @ NIH

• NITAAC is scheduling a Homeland Security series focusing on specific topics at NIH as follows:

• Protecting Public Health (end of November 2001) – Full with a waiting list,
• Law Enforcement – January 22, 2002, and
• Economic Impact – Not yet scheduled.

Vendors interested in participating should contact NITAAC to get on a waiting list.

NITAAC Accomplishments

• Suggestions were made that NITAAC and IAC host some kind of end of year celebration to recognize the successes of the NITTAC contracts, especially the CIO-SP2 and the IW2. Four volunteers from IAC will work with Mr. Elmer Simbly’s organization to organize the event. The volunteers are Ms. Diane McLaughlin (Lead), Howard Ady, Kevin Razzaghi, and Heather Addison.
