About this award
The Food and Drug Administration awarded a $1.58 million firm fixed-price delivery order to Research Triangle Institute (RTI International) on June 29, 2022, for a project titled "Characterizing Cigar Design Parameters and Their Effects on Smoke Constituent Yields." The work is being performed in Durham, North Carolina, with an ultimate completion date of June 28, 2024. This delivery order was issued without a set-aside designation, reflecting RTI's competitive standing as a prime contractor. The project supports FDA's tobacco regulatory mission by generating scientific data on how cigar design characteristics influence the constituents present in smoke, which directly informs the agency's tobacco product standards and regulatory decision-making.
RTI International is a prominent nonprofit research organization with extensive experience supporting FDA's tobacco regulatory programs through prior contracts for laboratory analysis and tobacco-related research. The organization brings established multidisciplinary research capabilities and strong relationships with federal agencies across health, environmental, and technical domains. This delivery order likely derives from one of RTI's existing Indefinite Delivery Vehicles with FDA, including the Quick Turnaround Social Science Research Services Blanket Purchase Agreement valued at $70 million through December 2030, which positions RTI to efficiently respond to emerging agency needs such as this specialized tobacco constituents analysis work.
