The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract is a comprehensive research vehicle supporting long-term epidemiological studies on cardiovascular disease progression and risk factors. Administered by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) within the National Institutes of Health (NIH), this contract facilitates multi-site research focusing on understanding the genetic, environmental, and clinical determinants of heart disease from early adulthood. The vehicle enables coordinated research activities across multiple field centers, supporting data collection, clinical examinations, scientific collaborations, and ancillary study components related to cardiovascular health.

Task orders under this IDIQ consistently demonstrate a pattern of awards to prominent academic research institutions, including the University of Minnesota, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Johns Hopkins University, and the University of Mississippi Medical Center. Delivery orders typically range from approximately $20,000 to $12.6 million, with performance periods spanning one to three years. The contracts are uniformly structured as cost no-fee or firm fixed-price delivery orders, and consistently lack set-aside designations. Core study operations, diversity supplements, and field center cohort visit task orders predominate, with primary performance locations centered at university research facilities. The funding agency remains consistent as the NHLBI, and the research consistently aims to advance understanding of cardiovascular disease development through comprehensive, long-term epidemiological investigation.
