About this award

Battelle Memorial Institute received a $9.6 million delivery order from the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR) to develop animal models for evaluation of medical countermeasures against SARS-CoV-2. Awarded on March 30, 2020, with an ultimate completion date of February 28, 2025, this cost-plus-fixed-fee contract was issued without a set-aside designation and performed in Columbus, Ohio. The work was conducted under the BARDA Biological Animal Model Development 2017-2022 parent indefinite delivery contract, which supports the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority's mission to develop medical countermeasures for infectious disease threats and other health emergencies. Battelle's role as a premier research and development organization positioned it to lead this critical pandemic response initiative during the early COVID-19 emergency.

The contract engaged multiple specialized subcontractors to execute the animal model development program. Meso Scale Diagnostics LLC (Meso Scale Discovery), a Native American-owned small business based in Rockville, Maryland, provided multiple immunoassay kits and laboratory consumables including V-PLEX SARS-CoV-2 panel kits essential for serological testing and antibody characterization. Integral Molecular Inc. supplied reagents supporting the research efforts, while Triple F Farms Inc. provided ferrets for use in animal model studies of COVID-19 pathogenesis and countermeasure evaluation. Endoscopy Support Services, Inc. supplied specialized endoscopic equipment for research procedures. This integrated subcontractor network enabled Battelle to deliver comprehensive animal model evaluation capabilities spanning procurement of research animals, diagnostic assays, biological reagents, and specialized equipment necessary for assessing medical countermeasure efficacy during the early phases of the pandemic response.
