About this award

On June 1, 2021, the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR), part of the Department of Health and Human Services, awarded a definitive other transaction agreement valued at approximately $270 million to Global Health Investment Corporation (UEI: JAMFY54LR5A1). Operating under the BARDA Ventures program—the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority's other transaction authority—this firm fixed-price contract establishes a public-private partnership designed to address critical gaps in pandemic preparedness and national health security response capabilities. The award is not a set-aside and has an ultimate completion date of June 1, 2041, with performance taking place in New York, NY.

The underlying solicitation, posted in November 2020 as a special notice, sought an experienced nonprofit entity to serve as a strategic venture capital partner that would link innovators and investors while accelerating medical countermeasure development. BARDA offered an initial $10 million with options for up to $500 million over ten years. Global Health Investment Corporation was selected based on its demonstrated experience in fostering novel technology innovation, promoting investor engagement, and advancing medical countermeasures through venture capital practices. The partnership leverages BARDA's other transaction authority to enable more flexible acquisition mechanisms that support the agency's mission of developing medical countermeasures for biological, chemical, radiological, and pandemic threats.
