The Department of Health and Human Services' Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR) awarded a $250 million Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to Rho Federal Systems Division Inc., a full-service contract research organization, to establish a Statistical and Data Coordinating Center (SDCC). The SDCC is intended to provide statistical analysis, data management, safety monitoring, and operational services to support clinical research networks and medical countermeasure development for ASPR. The contract does not have any set-aside designation. Under this IDIQ, ASPR has issued several delivery orders to Rho, including a $1.8M order for clinical trial planning and execution services, a $4.2M order for SDCC services, a $77.2M order for a larger SDCC effort, and additional orders for integrated safety summary reporting and other statistical/data coordination tasks. The original solicitation sought a single contractor to establish the SDCC infrastructure and provide a full scope of statistical and data management services for ASPR's Clinical Studies Network, with the goal of improving medical countermeasure development efficiency through standardized clinical study procedures and processes.
