The US Department of Health and Human Services, Food and Drug Administration has a continuing requirement for Engineering and Application Support Services.

The FDA employs more than 20,000 scientific, technical, and support personnel that are responsible for protecting and promoting the public health through the regulation and supervision of food safety; tobacco products; dietary supplements; prescription, and over-the-counter pharmaceutical drugs (medications); vaccines; biopharmaceuticals; blood transfusions; medical devices; electromagnetic radiation emitting devices (ERED); veterinary products; and, cosmetics.

One of the ways that FDA advances its broad public health mission is by working to transform administrative and scientific systems, along with infrastructure, to support FDA operations. Specifically, FDA Office of Information Management and Technology (OIMT) manages IT and other related services including technical oversight of system development plans, processes, policies, and methodologies and management of IT infrastructure to ensure FDA has a robust IT foundation that enables interoperability across FDA and allows development of enterprise wide systems necessary to meet FDA’s mission of promoting and protecting public health in an efficient, effective, productive, and timely manner. OIMT strives to consistently meet the business needs of its customers providing services that adhere to the agency’s IT standards and policies.

The Office of the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and Office of Innovation (OI) collaborates as a unified IT support system for the agency. The Office of Innovation conducts technology surveillance, prototyping, and advances new technologies in conjunction with the FDA IT Strategic mission. The CTO’s office oversees the FDA’s Enterprise Architecture Program and in conjunction with the external Division of supports the implementation of new solutions provided from the Office of Innovation and other components of OIMT. The ability to rapidly develop and deploy information systems and resources plays a critical role in enabling the FDA’s efforts to transform agency operations and respond quickly and accurately to emerging scientific, technological, and economic trends affecting its regulatory mission. To support rapid development and deployment, the FDA is increasingly leveraging methodologies to help streamline FDA modernization efforts, such as Agile development (e.g. SCRUM), Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL), IT Asset Management (ITAM), DevOps, Containerization, Microservices and API-based architecture, Software Defined Networking (SDN), among other contemporary innovations.
