About this vehicle
AHRQ (Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality) established this Master IDIQ on May 27, 2020, to procure research, implementation science, and dissemination services for nationwide healthcare delivery improvement initiatives. The vehicle's ordering period closed on May 26, 2025—new task orders cannot be placed—making it inactive for new work.
The IDIQ carried a shared ceiling of $75 million. Task orders awarded across its five-year ordering window total $60 million combined potential value, with $55.4 million obligated (92% of combined potential value). Ordering activity peaked early: five task orders in 2020, four in 2021, four in 2022, one in 2023, and two through July 2024. The most recent award dates to July 8, 2024.
Work contracted spans healthcare improvement research and implementation across multiple domains. Recent task orders include diagnostic safety resource testing ($6.7 million), clinical decision support innovation collaboration ($14.8 million ceiling), healthcare equity framework development, telemedicine diagnostic accuracy and antibiotic stewardship (CUSP initiatives), person-centered care planning for multiple chronic conditions, and nursing home COVID-19 coordination. Task orders run as firm-fixed-price or time-and-materials arrangements, with durations spanning two to four years and individual ceilings ranging from roughly $200 thousand to $7.6 million.
National Opinion Research Center dominates the prime base, holding five task orders totaling $39 million in combined potential value (65% of all awards by value). The Rand Corporation ranks second with three orders worth $10.7 million, and Westat holds one order valued at $4.1 million. Research Triangle Institute, Oregon Health & Science University, and Johns Hopkins University collectively account for the remainder across six orders. All task orders were unrestricted competitive awards; no set-asides were used.
All 16 task orders funded AHRQ directly—customer concentration is absolute. Place of performance is not specified in available records.
