About this award
The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) awarded a BPA call valued at $165,940.03 to The University of North Texas Health Science Center at Fort Worth (UNTHSC) on March 25, 2026, for the evaluation of abuse potential of synthetic cannabinoids. This firm fixed price contract is expected to be completed by March 19, 2027, and will be performed in Fort Worth, Texas. The award was made without a set-aside designation, indicating open competition. This task order falls under UNTHSC's existing five-year Blanket Purchase Agreement with the DEA, valued at $1,031,685.80 and effective through September 30, 2029, which establishes the framework for investigational studies and methodologies to evaluate the abuse potential of synthetic opioids and other controlled substances.
As a comprehensive academic medical center and state government entity, UNTHSC brings substantial expertise in preclinical testing methodologies, including locomotor activity assays, analgesia studies, and drug discrimination assays—capabilities developed through its extensive portfolio of federal research and scientific services. The institution's research infrastructure, supported by significant National Institute on Drug Abuse funding and other NIH programs, positions it to conduct the specialized pharmacological assessments required for characterizing the abuse potential of synthetic cannabinoids. This engagement aligns with the DEA's regulatory mission to assess emerging controlled substance analogs and inform policy and enforcement decisions.
