About this award

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases awarded a $19.155 million definitive contract to The Leland Stanford Junior University for adjuvant comparison and characterization on September 1, 2022, under a cost-no-fee pricing structure with no set-aside.

The originating pre-solicitation, posted March 10, 2021, describes a program to compare multiple adjuvants across vaccine and antigen platforms through comprehensive immune assessments. NIAID intended to award 3–5 cost-reimbursement contracts establishing immunological profiles of adjuvants' strength, quality, breadth, and durability using specified omics and functional assays. The program's estimated total cost is $7.5 million, with up to $5.5 million dedicated to non-HIV vaccines and up to $2 million for projects including HIV antigens. Place of performance is Palo Alto, CA.

The contract runs through August 31, 2027. Stanford performs work in prime capacity across all reported fiscal years. Service Contract Inventory data shows government-invoiced labor of $1.5 million in FY2023 (8.6 FTEs, 17,864 contractor hours at $84.36/hr), $6.4 million in FY2024 (13.3 FTEs, 27,586 contractor hours at $233.64/hr), and $2.1 million in FY2025 (4.0 FTEs). The blended hourly rate rose across the period. In FY2025 Stanford self-performed all reported hours with no subcontractors. Major subcontractors include the University of Louisiana at Lafayette (nonhuman primate studies), Emory University (viral challenge assays), and Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center (data analysis), with additional support from the University of Arizona and Weizmann Institute of Science.
