Core Competency

NYT, Inc. brings many years of in-depth experience to the warehousing, inventory, and distribution services market. Our processes are integral to creating a framework that facilitates the arrival of new high-dollar or highly sensitive assets, tracking property throughout the entirety of its life cycle. Our team successfully navigates hundreds of existing items and new assets daily thanks to our team’s above-board knowledge, skills, and abilities in every area of the large-scale asset-tracking arena.

NIH Asset Property Management Capabilities

NYT has over 20+ years of experience hiring and providing PCO support to the NIH. We have developed a proven process to expertly identify and train talent to successfully fulfill PCO positions. This above-board process has resulted in many of our employees being promoted to PAOs and/or Federal employees on a routine basis. In fact, our extensive knowledge, skills, and abilities allow us to support all four levels of PCOs at the NIH specified in the sources sought despite our existing GSA contract only providing three labor categories: Inventory Technician, Property Specialist, and Property Manager. It is important to note that our Property Manager position covers the entire breadth of PCO levels described in the sources sought.

NYT uses its above-board process of selecting and training candidates to satisfy vacant Property Custodial Officer (PCO) positions throughout the NIH. In this endeavor, we actively support multiple Ics, including NCI, NIDDK, NICHD, ORS/ODORFD, CSR, and NLM. The contractual work provided by NYT requires deep proficiency and daily use of many NIH systems and databases (e.g., NBS Sunflower, Nvision, POTs, Service Now, PMB Reporting Tool, the IC Weekly Inventory Reporting Tool, NPMP, JamF, and Big Fix).

NYT works closely with its customers to provide and collect real-time feedback and provide strategic thought partnerships at designated intervals, ultimately delivering a better, faster, and easier experience for the customer and constituents.

Inventory Operation Capabilities

As part of, and in addition to, the Property Management and warehouse services, NYT, Inc. is the primary contracting provider of the NIH physical property inventory for Accountable Property valued at $5k or higher or deemed sensitive. NYT is conducting the 2023 NIH Physical Inventory while supporting the transition to RFID across the NIH. NYTs contract covers approximately 186,000 pieces of accountable equipment, valued at 1.9 billion dollars, and performs physical inventories at various time increments and cadences, as agreed upon with NIH.

NYT’s Inventory Specialists provide accurate and professional inventory services to our clients. Processes and procedures cover physical management of property and documented inventory practices, physical checks, and other quality control practices. NYT’s industry-specific expertise in providing physical inventory solutions using bar code and RFID technologies make NYT an industry leader in this growing high-tech service industry.

Warehouse Service Capabilities

NYT provides onsite warehousing at the NCI Central Receiving Warehouse at 1029 E. Gude Dr, Suite 100, Rockville, MD. NYT helped and continues to help this Institute (NCI) design, install, organize, and optimize its 10,000-square- foot climate-controlled, secure central receiving warehouse in Gaithersburg, MD. Our processes were and are integral to this institute’s efforts to establish a new inventory framework that facilitates the arrival of new government- furnished, high-dollar, or highly sensitive IT assets while tracking property throughout the entirety of its life cycle. Our team successfully navigates the hundreds of new IT assets received monthly on top of the more than 2000+ accountable IT assets already in stock at this location. These specialized techniques allow its IT Help Desk to surplus older IT assets and efficiently retire them when needed, which is essential to accurate record-keeping in this field. Experience with NCI consists of transportation, receipt, storage of government materials, and other shipping services of designated inventory between local warehouses and other locations nationwide, as needed. Distribution services follow documented processes and procedures and are often performed in conjunction with NIH, NCI, or other government mailing procedures, as well as warehouse storage and physical and electronic inventory processes and procedures.

NYT/PCOs are responsible for physical equipment, documentation, electronic equipment, and other designated property that arrives at and leaves the warehouse. Warehouse services focus on timeliness, accuracy, and the safe arrival of material. The contract covers handling and managing property delivered from a manufacturer or Accountable User/Sub-Custodian/Logistics/IT, stored, and leaves the warehouse for delivery to an Accountable User, manufacturer for repair/replacement, re-utilization by another IC, or for surplus. Our work with NCI’s Central Receiving Warehouse positively impacts the procurement professionals, the IT Help Desk, and the property management specialists’ ability to communicate and function effectively and efficiently as a team in this environment, which is crucial to its long-term success. NYT’s process design services result in streamlined, controlled procedures that minimize risk and maximize this warehouse’s efficiency, effectiveness, and resource management, magnifying its ability to track extensive inventories successfully.
