The Nonclinical Services for Development of Interventional Agents is a multiple-award indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle established by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) to support the development of therapeutic products for challenging infectious disease targets. The contract vehicle is designed to provide comprehensive preclinical and non-clinical development services for promising therapeutic candidates emerging from academia, private sector research, and other sources. Its primary focus is on developing interventional agents for potential bioterrorism agents, drug-resistant pathogens, emerging infectious diseases, and infectious diseases prevalent in resource-limited countries.

The task orders under this contract vehicle consistently involve nonclinical services such as microbiological studies, safety assessments, toxicology evaluations, pharmacokinetic testing, and chemical synthesis. Frequently winning prime contractors include SRI International, Eurofins Panlabs, Research Triangle Institute (RTI), Curia Global (AMRI), and Southern Research Institute, with contract values ranging from approximately $40,000 to over $10 million. Most task orders are cost-plus-fixed-fee or firm-fixed-price, with performance periods typically spanning 12-36 months. The contracts are predominantly awarded to non-profit research organizations and for-profit contract research organizations, with work primarily performed in locations such as West Menlo Park, California; Research Triangle Park, North Carolina; and Albany, New York. None of the task orders utilize small business set-aside designations, and many have explicit connections to COVID-19 research or broader infectious disease countermeasure development.
