About this agency
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), a sub-agency within the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health, is the principal federal funder of research into infectious, immunologic, and allergenic diseases, supporting basic, applied, and translational research on therapeutics, vaccines, and diagnostics through both contracts and grants.
NIAID has awarded 20,228 federal contracts cumulatively since 1996, with combined potential value of $27.07 billion and $18.61 billion obligated. Recent contract activity shows 1,661 awards in 2022, 1,731 in 2023, 1,762 in 2024, 588 in 2025, and 266 year-to-date in 2026, with the most recent award dated 2026-10-21. Contract competition is highly fragmented; the top five primes by award count hold 18% of recent awards over the last five years, led by Axle Informatics, LLC with 343 awards and $174.3 million combined potential value, followed by Government Scientific Source Inc. (216 awards, $11.5 million) and Gap Solutions, Inc. (199 awards, $97.3 million). By potential value, Axle Informatics, Gap Solutions, and Kelly Services, Inc. collectively represent 1% of combined potential value, indicating that value is distributed across a wide contractor base; many awards transact through Schedule task orders or BPA calls where potential value is not reported. Set-asides are minimal: 92% of awards carry no set-aside, with small-business awards comprising 8% of the portfolio (1,552 awards), including 16 competitive 8(a) awards and 14 sole-source 8(a) awards.
NIAID has distributed 21,790 federal grants cumulatively since 1975, with $76.71 billion in federal dollars obligated and combined total dollars (federal plus non-federal share) of $81.86 billion. Recent grant activity shows 1,612 awards in 2024, 1,370 in 2025, 1,984 in 2026, 137 in 2027, and one award recorded for 2028. Grant recipients are highly fragmented; the top five recipients by award count hold 11% of recent awards over the last five years, led by The Johns Hopkins University (198 awards, $536.7 million federal dollars obligated), The Washington University (196 awards, $466.6 million), and The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (185 awards, $703.4 million). By federal dollars, UC San Francisco, Johns Hopkins, and Washington University lead. Grants are predominantly Project Grants (20,828 awards, 96%) with Cooperative Agreements (962 awards, 4%).
Current contract opportunities reflect NIAID's research mission and operational infrastructure: Pre-Solicitation 75N93027R00003 for Pre-Clinical Models of Infectious Diseases (due 2026-12-07) and the 2027 NIAID DMID Omnibus Broad Agency Announcement soliciting medical interventions for infectious diseases (HHS-NIH-NIAID-BAA2026-1, due 2026-12-08) target research development. Simultaneously, NIAID and other NIH institutes are procuring maintenance and infrastructure support—service contracts for flow cytometers (NOI-NIAID-26-2278150), nonhuman primate cage washers, rat housing systems, and MRI equipment maintenance—most posted as notices of intent for sole-source awards to original equipment manufacturers. A small-business sources sought notice for a Statistical and Data Coordinating Center (RFP-NIAID-DMID-75N98026R00169, posted 2026-09-15) signals potential set-aside opportunity in clinical-research coordination.
