About this IDV

This is a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) contract awarded by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), a civilian federal agency, to Westat, Inc., a prominent professional services firm. The BPA has a ceiling value of $90,000,000 and a period of performance through January 7, 2026.

The BPA is for "QUICK TURNAROUND SOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCH SERVICES" to support the FDA across a variety of research, data collection, analysis, and evaluation tasks. Westat has been issued multiple task orders under this BPA, with specific work including consumer focus groups, message testing, survey services, food labeling studies, and medical device research, among other projects. The task orders are primarily firm fixed-price or labor hour contracts, leveraging Westat's Advertising & Integrated Marketing Solutions (AIMS) schedule with the General Services Administration. This BPA enables the FDA to flexibly obtain social science research services from Westat as needed, without the agency having to conduct a full procurement for each individual requirement.
