The Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health National Cancer Institute (NIH NCI) awarded a $9.9 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract to the Science and Technology Center in Ukraine (STCU), a non-profit organization, to provide administrative support and oversight for ongoing cancer epidemiology studies and other health research related to the Chernobyl nuclear accident. Under this contract, STCU will be responsible for a range of tasks, including conducting dosimetry feasibility assessments, inventorying biospecimens in the Chernobyl Tissue Bank, tracing individuals for interviews from prior screening efforts, and maintaining clinical cohorts of Chernobyl cleanup workers and thyroid disease patients. The contracted services will support NCI's collaborations with Ukrainian institutions on these public health research initiatives stemming from the Chernobyl disaster. This IDV contract, awarded without any set-aside designations, builds upon STCU's longstanding role in administering NCI's Chernobyl-related research projects in Ukraine since 1995. Two initial firm-fixed-price task orders worth a combined $1.45 million have been issued against the IDV for cohort maintenance and thyroid disease data linkage through 2033. Separately, NIH NCI has awarded STCU several single-award firm-fixed-price delivery order contracts to provide specific administrative and logistical support services for Chernobyl research projects. These include a $590,402 contract for Chernobyl Tissue Bank management, a $678,378 contract for maintenance of a Chernobyl cleanup worker clinical cohort, and a $767,742 contract for maintaining and linking thyroid disease data sets. All of these delivery order contracts, which do not have set-aside designations, are intended to support NCI's ongoing collaborations with Ukrainian institutions on epidemiological studies and other health impact assessments related to the Chernobyl nuclear accident.
