The Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIH-NIAID) has awarded a $36 million Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for the Diagnostic Pre-Clinical Services Program to Dynport Vaccine Company LLC, a subsidiary of General Dynamics Corp. Under this single-award IDIQ contract, Dynport will provide a wide range of services to support the development of in vitro diagnostic products for the detection, identification, and characterization of human infectious agents. Services include product development processes, assay validation, recombinant protein and monoclonal antibody production, nucleic acid testing, and pilot-scale GMP manufacturing. This contract aims to assist academic institutions, startups, and mature companies in advancing new diagnostic technologies toward regulatory approval, particularly for emerging infectious diseases. The initial $3.5 million delivery order has a 7-year period of performance with work to be conducted at Dynport's facilities in Fort Detrick, Maryland. There were no set-asides used for this procurement. This IDIQ contract was originally solicited through a Small Business Sources Sought notice, which sought capability statements from qualified small businesses to potentially provide the required services. The agency anticipated making multiple IDIQ contract awards to organizations that best met the qualifications across six technical task areas. This comprehensive service offering is intended to help investigators obtain critical data, attract funding, secure partnerships, and fulfill regulatory requirements to support the development of new diagnostic products for infectious diseases, including those that pose bioterrorism and public health threats.
