About this award
The Food and Drug Administration awarded a $241.7K firm fixed-price contract to Westat, Inc. for nutrition focus groups and quick turnaround social science research services. This contract was awarded on July 23, 2019, with an ultimate completion date of August 11, 2024, and was executed as a call against the FDA's Quick Turnaround Social Science Research Services multiple-award Blanket Purchase Agreement. The work is to be performed in Potomac, Maryland, and no small business set-aside was utilized for this award. Westat, a prominent for-profit professional services firm headquartered in Rockville, Maryland, brings over 60 years of experience in research, data collection, statistical analysis, and program evaluation for federal agencies.
This contract represents a continuation of Westat's extensive work with the FDA on survey and focus group initiatives supporting the agency's regulatory and public health missions. Westat's qualifications for this engagement include demonstrated expertise across multiple health and nutrition-related federal programs, including significant work with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service on supplemental nutrition programs and child nutrition research. The relatively modest contract value reflects the quick turnaround nature of the focus group research, allowing the FDA to access rapid, specialized social science research capabilities through an established vendor relationship without requiring full and open competition under the underlying BPA vehicle.
