The University of Miami, a private research university, holds an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) with the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), part of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), to provide services related to the "Hispanic Community Health Study - Study of Latinos (HCHS-SOL)" program. The base IDC has a ceiling value of $12,621,633 and a period of performance through May 2020. Under this IDC, the NHLBI has issued multiple delivery orders to the University of Miami, totaling over $7.9 million, to serve as the prime contractor for the Miami field center portion of the HCHS-SOL study. This large, multi-center epidemiological study aims to investigate the prevalence and risk factors for chronic diseases in Hispanic/Latino populations in the United States. The delivery orders do not have any set-aside designations, indicating the University of Miami competed for them in full and open competition. The contracted services involve conducting medical and scientific research, data collection, and other activities to support the HCHS-SOL program objectives.
The University of Miami has a strong track record of securing prime and subcontract/subgrant awards from various federal agencies, including the Department of Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense, to provide specialized medical, research, and professional services. As a comprehensive research institution, the university leverages its diverse clinical and research capabilities to successfully compete for and deliver on these federal contract and grant opportunities, which often do not have set-aside designations.
