About this IDV
The Food and Drug Administration awarded a Blanket Purchase Agreement to Tunnell Consulting Inc. on July 29, 2021, with a $75 million ceiling for professional and scientific support services, established against the GSA Multiple Award Schedule.
The BPA supports the FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) and other FDA centers and offices with on-call subject matter expert services. Work is performed primarily in Silver Spring, Maryland, with subordinate locations in Berwyn, Pennsylvania and Calverton, Maryland. Services include toxicology, human factors engineering, regulatory support, scientific consultation, and advanced subject matter expertise across biotechnology, biopharmaceuticals, and medical research domains. Pricing is labor-hour based.
Recent BPA-call activity reflects sustained demand across CDRH operations. A $59.5 million primary call established July 29, 2021, for CDRH professional and scientific support, received a no-cost extension through July 29, 2026, and generated $13.7 million in invoiced labor in FY2024 across 27.7 full-time equivalents and 57,515 contractor hours at $238.22 per hour. A $24.3 million call issued April 20, 2026, for scientific and technical capacity to sustain regulatory review in Silver Spring runs through April 19, 2027. A $14.9 million call issued July 28, 2025, provided up to 32 advanced scientific consultants to CDRH offices for project, program, and portfolio management, with completion dated July 29, 2026. Earlier calls for ad-hoc toxicologists, magnetic resonance imaging expertise, and human factors and anesthesiology support have closed out. Tunnell self-performs all reported hours with no subcontractor engagement documented.
