About this award
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) awarded a $21,600,642 definitive, firm-fixed-price contract to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to support the development of the SwabSeq metagenomic diagnostic platform, a novel pathogen-agnostic diagnostic solution. This contract is not set-aside.
The award is tied to a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) solicitation from the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) within HHS, which is seeking advanced research and development of medical countermeasures against chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and emerging infectious disease threats. The BAA covers twelve areas of interest, including vaccines, therapeutics, diagnostics, and devices, with a focus on innovative medical technologies that can rapidly respond to public health emergencies. The contract with UCLA supports the development of the SwabSeq platform, which may have applications in this context.
UCLA, as a prominent public research university and 1862 Land Grant College, has a history of executing complex scientific research and technical services contracts with various federal agencies, including NASA, NIH, NSF, and the Department of Defense. The university's extensive research facilities, diverse faculty expertise, and robust administrative capabilities make it well-suited to deliver advanced diagnostic solutions under this HHS contract.
