The University of North Texas Health Science Center at Fort Worth (UNTHSC) holds an indefinite delivery contract (IDC) with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to support the Tuberculosis Epidemiology Studies Consortium. Under this $5.51 million IDC, UNTHSC is conducting a comparative study on tuberculosis (TB) testing methods to evaluate the performance of the tuberculin skin test (TST) versus interferon gamma release assays (IGRAs) in diagnosing latent TB infection (LTBI) and predicting progression to active disease. This $3.75 million task order is being performed in collaboration with Tarrant County Public Health, which is providing access to its TB, refugee, and other clinics to facilitate UNTHSC's research activities. The IDC does not have a set-aside designation, leveraging UNTHSC's status as a U.S. state government entity and academic medical institution to deliver these services. The period of performance for this task order is from September 2011 to September 2021, supporting the CDC's broader efforts to improve the diagnosis and treatment of LTBI. In addition to this task order, UNTHSC holds two other major IDCs that allow it to provide ongoing services to federal agencies. The first is a $146.3 million IDC with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases to develop pre-clinical models of infectious diseases, while the second is a $79.1 million IDC with the Bureau of Prisons to deliver comprehensive healthcare services at the Federal Medical Center Carswell from 2022 to 2027. These IDCs enable UNTHSC to maintain long-term partnerships with federal agencies, applying its medical and research expertise to address their programmatic needs.
