The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to Data Quality Science, LLC, a small business based in Catonsville, Maryland, to provide tobacco retailer inspection services primarily in Puerto Rico, under FDA Region 5. The $3 million IDC has an ultimate completion date of September 29, 2024 and includes multiple firm-fixed-price and cost-no-fee task orders issued to date, ranging from $140,215 to $344,285, for conducting compliance checks, undercover buys, and labeling audits at tobacco retail locations.
Data Quality Science also holds two larger IDIQ contracts with the FDA, one for $35 million covering Region 4 (western states) and another $3 million IDIQ specific to Puerto Rico, which enable the agency to efficiently procure the company's specialized tobacco compliance monitoring services. The overall objective is to support the FDA's mission of overseeing approximately 450,000 tobacco retailers nationwide and enforcing regulations under the Tobacco Control Act. The contracts do not have set-aside designations and require the use of commissionable state/territory health, food, or drug officer inspectors.
