About this award
The Joint Program Executive Office (PEO) Chemical and Biological Defense awarded a $3.34M delivery order contract to the National Strategic Research Institute (NSRI) on September 13, 2023, for the Targeted Acquisition of Reference Materials Augmenting Capabilities (TARMAC) Initiative Next Generation Sequencing Research Support. The contract is structured as a cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order with performance extending through February 28, 2028, and will be executed at Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska. NSRI, a non-profit research organization affiliated with the University of Nebraska System, brings substantial expertise in chemical and biological defense research and has established itself as a trusted partner to the Department of Defense through over $100M in prime federal contracts since 2012.
The contract does not utilize a small business set-aside designation. NSRI has engaged the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska, operating through its University of Nebraska Medical Center division, as a subcontractor for research and development activities, with three documented sub-award actions dated October 13, 2023, November 7, 2024, and August 5, 2025. The TARMAC initiative supports next-generation sequencing capabilities in chemical and biological defense research, leveraging NSRI's demonstrated capacity in weapons of mass destruction research, medical countermeasure development, and strategic analysis in partnership with leading academic institutions.
