About this award

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Pittsburgh awarded a cost-reimbursable definitive contract to Vitalant Research Institute to characterize seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in the US population on May 12, 2020, with a ceiling value of $46.4 million and an ultimate completion date of May 11, 2024.

The originating solicitation, issued as a special notice in December 2021, contemplated a sole-source modification under FAR 6.302-1, citing Vitalant's 18 months of prior experience on the longitudinal COVID-19 serosurvey work, established blood collection partnerships, and data management capabilities as the only source capable of immediate performance. The contract expanded longitudinal participation to approximately 130,000 blood donors and supported the National SARS-CoV-2 Seroincidence Studies in Blood Donors, providing data on antibody stability, reinfection risk, and serosurvey analysis accounting for waning immune responses across geographic and demographic segments.

Place of performance is Scottsdale, AZ. Creative Testing Solutions subcontracted quantitative immunoglobulin and nucleocapsid testing on sample batches at specified per-test rates, with a March 2024 amendment increasing the subcontract award by $200,000 to $769,088 to cover additional work through the project end date.

Government-invoiced labor peaked in FY2023 at $12.9 million across 15.3 FTEs and 31,853 contractor hours ($403.99 blended hourly rate), declining in FY2024 to $3.5 million across 7.3 FTEs and 15,266 hours ($231.92/hr), with 48 percent of contractor hours subcontracted in the most recent year.
