The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) has established a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle for Preclinical and Translational Vaccine Development for HIV and Other Candidate Agents. The contract supports a comprehensive range of research and development services focused on advancing HIV vaccine efforts, including product storage, safety studies, manufacturability assessments, analytical characterization, process development, current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) manufacturing, fill-finish operations, and scientific and regulatory support services. The vehicle is designed to provide NIAID with flexible, rapid access to specialized scientific services across seven distinct task areas, enabling advanced research toward developing safe and efficacious preventive HIV-1 vaccines.

Recent task orders under this vehicle have demonstrated a typical range of $2.5 million to $10.4 million, with performance periods extending up to August 2030. Prime contractors have included Duke University, Advanced Bioscience Laboratories, International AIDS Vaccine Initiative, Sri International, Mriglobal, and Technical Resources International. The contract does not consistently use small business set-asides, though Task Area G is specifically reserved for small businesses. Most task orders are cost-type contracts (cost no fee or cost plus fixed fee) and support preclinical vaccine development activities such as mRNA production, toxicology studies, product storage and shipping, and research and development support. Performance locations appear concentrated in research institutions and laboratories across the United States, with a focus on supporting NIAID's mission of infectious disease countermeasure development.
