Kelly Services has entered into a $750m five-year contract with the National Institutes of Health (NIH), an agency of the US Department of Health and Human Services.
The contract was awarded to Kelly Government Solutions, a division of Kelly Services, focused on federal government contracting. The contract will be financed in its entirety with federal funds.
Kelly Government Solutions is expected to provide a wide array of professional and technical expertise including critical research, clinical, health and other professional services to the entire NIH network.
