The Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response awarded a single-award, indefinite delivery contract to the Texas Biomedical Research Institute, doing business as the Southwest Foundation for Biomedical Research. The contract has a potential value of $100 million and a period of performance through September 2027 to provide biological animal model and medical countermeasure development support.
Two associated delivery orders have been issued to date. The first is a $2.2 million order for natural history studies in non-human primate models of filovirus infection from September 2023 through September 2025. The second is a $21,187 order for management support activities under the contract from July 2023 through July 2024. Both orders will be performed in San Antonio, Texas.
Originally, the agency issued a sources sought notice to qualify small businesses for establishment of a Nonclinical Services Network. This network would provide expertise in animal model development and testing for biological threats, analytical methods, and safety evaluation to support the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority countermeasure portfolio. Responses were due in December 2021 for evaluation towards multiple indefinite delivery contracts planned for award in the third quarter of fiscal year 2022.
