The originating Broad Agency Announcement, posted November 20, 2020, sought research and development proposals across eight areas of regulatory science; this award addresses opioid packaging safety outcomes. The study employs a Multiphase Optimization Strategy framework to evaluate the effectiveness of different oxycodone packages with varying controlled-release designs, patient education messages, and calendar components on prescribing, dispensing, and patient use among orthopaedic surgery and dental patients receiving post-operative oxycodone. Primary outcomes measure tablets prescribed and used for pain management and patient satisfaction; secondary outcomes examine adequacy of pain control, opioid knowledge, and prescriber and pharmacist service experience. Place of performance is Silver Spring, MD. Ultimate completion date is September 26, 2026.
Service Contract Inventory reporting shows the contract invoiced $902 thousand across fiscal years 2022–2025, with labor footprint growing from 0.2 FTEs in FY2022 to 1.4 FTEs in FY2025. Government-paid blended hourly rates ranged from $228.19/hr in FY2022 to $138.26/hr in FY2025, declining across the performance period. In FY2025, 80 percent of contractor hours were subcontracted to one subcontractor.
Subcontractors include University of Connecticut Health Center and Hartford Hospital, which leads study enrollment and clinical operations from an 830-bed facility in Hartford, Connecticut.
