The contract, awarded on August 9, 2024, with an ultimate completion date of January 6, 2027, covers novel foods focus groups research with a no-cost extension that includes a change in methodology. Westat will perform the work at its Rockville, Maryland headquarters location. This award does not carry a small business set-aside designation, reflecting Westat's competitive standing as an established large government contractor with extensive experience in federal research and evaluation services.
The engagement leverages Westat's substantial expertise in social science research, data collection, and focus group facilitation for FDA initiatives. As a premier federal research contractor with over 60 years of experience, Westat has previously supported the FDA through multiple survey and focus group initiatives related to food and regulatory topics. The novel foods focus groups project will contribute to the FDA's understanding of consumer perceptions and attitudes regarding novel food products, supporting the agency's regulatory decision-making processes and consumer engagement efforts. The no-cost extension with methodology changes indicates an adaptive approach to research design, allowing the contractor to refine data collection approaches while maintaining budget efficiency.
