The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to Advanced Technology International (ATI), a public service nonprofit, with a $10 billion ceiling value. Under this IDC, ATI has been awarded multiple firm-fixed-price delivery orders totaling over $3.3 billion to provide specialized engineering, prototyping, testing, and advisory services to support HHS' medical countermeasure production, preparedness, and response capabilities. The work will be performed in Summerville, South Carolina. Notable task orders include $83 million for vaccine development, $5 million for influenza and infectious disease immunogenicity laboratory services, $30 million for preparedness and response services, and over $1 billion for additional medical countermeasure and industrial base support efforts. These awards leverage ATI's role as the prime contractor on major IDIQ contracts with HHS, including a $20 billion Biopharmaceutical Manufacturing Preparedness Consortium and a $10 billion HHS preparedness and response services IDIQ.
ATI, a subsidiary of the public service research institute Analytic Services Inc. (Anser), frequently partners with aerospace primes like Boeing, Northrop, Rolls-Royce, GE Aviation, and Honeywell to deliver these specialized services. The IDC and associated task orders do not have any small business set-asides. This contracting approach allows HHS to rapidly acquire domestic production capabilities across pharmaceutical and energetics supply chains, while also providing advisory and technical expertise to support critical defense systems and the broader defense industrial base.
