About this award

The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR) awarded a $338.9 million firm fixed-price contract to Castlevax Inc. on September 30, 2023, to develop a next-generation, mucosally delivered COVID-19 booster vaccine capable of eliciting mucosal immunity and protecting against SARS-CoV-2 breakthrough infection and transmission. The contract is being performed in New York, New York, with an ultimate completion date of January 31, 2025. This award originated from a Broad Agency Announcement issued by the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) seeking advanced research and development of medical countermeasures against pandemic threats, including vaccines and therapeutics advancing toward FDA approval or licensure. The contract was not issued under any set-aside designation.

This procurement represents ASPR's continued investment in pandemic preparedness and vaccine development capabilities through BARDA's established programs. A recent modification to the contract adjusted the period of performance end date from August 2, 2027, to January 31, 2025, reflecting a change in project timeline. Castlevax's mucosal vaccine approach represents an advancement beyond traditional intramuscular administration, targeting enhanced respiratory tract immunity to reduce both breakthrough infections and viral transmission in the context of ongoing COVID-19 variant evolution.
