About this IDV

The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR) awarded Battelle Memorial Institute a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract valued at $67.5 million on July 28, 2022, for animal model development supporting the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority's chemical research and network program. Under this contract, Battelle maintains nonclinical laboratory capabilities to conduct controlled exposures of animal species to chemical agents and establish models for evaluating medical countermeasures. The contract encompasses two qualification groups: Group A laboratories capable of conducting studies involving pulmonary threats and other chemicals, and Group B laboratories capable of working with Schedule 1 chemical threat agents including nerve and blister agents. All work is performed without set-aside designation under full and open competition, with the contract extending through July 31, 2026. Battelle's federal contracting expertise and established infrastructure for complex scientific testing position the contractor to deliver rigorous screening methodologies and animal model research that support the government's chemical defense and emergency preparedness objectives under the Project BioShield Act framework.

Through four delivery orders totaling approximately $42.8 million, ASPR has tasked Battelle with developing human-relevant animal models to evaluate medical countermeasures against chemical warfare agent exposure. Specific delivery orders address the establishment of rabbit models for long-term sulfur mustard-induced ocular injuries ($15.3 million, through September 2029, performed in Columbus, Ohio), development of small animal models for screening countermeasures against sulfur mustard inhalation injuries ($18.2 million, through August 2030, performed in Washington, DC), repurposing of chemical compounds panhematin and disulfiram as potential countermeasures against knockdown agents ($5.7 million, completed January 2025), and research on inhaled anti-muscarinic agents as contingency countermeasures against nerve agent-induced bronchorrhea ($3.6 million, completed September 2024, performed in Columbus, Ohio). All delivery orders utilize cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing and carry no set-aside designations, reflecting Battelle's competitive capabilities in full and open procurements with the federal government.
