Battelle Memorial Institute
Battelle Memorial Institute, doing business as Battelle, is the world's largest independent nonprofit research and development organization. With over 20,000 employees globally, Battelle provides innovative solutions in national security, health, energy, and education sectors. As a nonprofit organization and manufacturer of goods, Battelle frequently provides research, engineering, testing, manufacturing, and information technology services to U.S. federal government agencies through prime and subcontract awards. The organization leverages its extensive scientific resources and technical capabilities across multiple research fields to address complex challenges for government and commercial clients.
Through prime federal contract awards, Battelle has provided the government with a wide range of goods and services across domains like defense, homeland security, health, energy, and transportation. Notable examples include delivering armored vehicles and integrated military systems to the United States Special Operations Command, developing chemical screening and nonclinical study services for the National Institutes of Health, manufacturing aircraft components like the Modular Aerial Spray System for the Department of the Air Force, supporting environmental programs like dredged material testing for the Army Corps of Engineers, and delivering research services for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. Many contracts involve hardware development, laboratory testing, and technical research across chemical, biological, and engineering fields. Battelle serves as both a prime and subcontractor, frequently partnering with specialized manufacturers and technical consultants. Awards span contract types like definitive contracts, purchase orders, and delivery orders issued against IDIQ vehicles like OASIS and GSA Schedules. Few set-asides are specified on these awards issued by the Departments of Defense, Energy, Homeland Security, Health and Human Services, and other major federal agencies and offices.
On the grant side, Battelle has been awarded cooperative agreements by the Department of Energy to support carbon capture and storage technology initiatives, as well as Environmental Protection Agency project grants focused on environmental monitoring and remediation of critical minerals at mining sites. The National Science Foundation has issued cooperative agreements enabling Battelle to operate the National Ecological Observatory Network continental research platform and lead global collaborative networks advancing ecological drought research. These awards provide funding through federal programs like the DOE's Fossil Energy Research and Development, EPA's Consolidated Research/Training/Fellowships, and NSF's Biological Sciences for Battelle to conduct research, field studies, operational maintenance, training, and international partnership activities. Battelle frequently collaborates with universities and other research institutions on these federally-funded studies, combining complementary capabilities to advance scientific knowledge and develop new technologies with potential societal impact.
Battelle holds several major indefinite-delivery indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts providing a broad scope of research, development, testing, and technical support services. These include a $100 million contract for biological animal model and medical countermeasure development through the HHS Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, a $149 million vehicle for manufacturing and nonclinical studies of neurological therapeutic biotechnology products under NIH, and a $100 million EPA contract for chemical screening, review, and evaluation. The Department of Homeland Security awarded Battelle a $95 million single-award IDIQ for research and developmental testing related to transportation security, while the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency issued an OT IDV valued at $32 million for initiatives like the Foundational Security for Food Systems program. Through these IDIQs, federal agencies gain flexible access to Battelle's extensive scientific resources and technical capabilities across a multitude of research fields.

Through federal contract awards, Signature Science has provided expert witness services for DNA analysis and testimony to support litigation efforts by U.S. Attorney's Offices. The company has also conducted research, development, testing, and evaluation services for agencies such as the Departments of Defense, Homeland Security, and Health and Human Services. Specific projects have included quality assurance support for the BioWatch Program, development of novel biodosimetry approaches for quantifying ionizing radiation exposures, and support for the Transportation Security Laboratory's efforts in evaluating and advancing detection solutions for transportation security. Signature Science has served as both a prime contractor and subcontractor, working with partners such as Boeing, Battelle, and various universities on projects related to chemical threat analysis, scientific engagement services, and training support. While some contracts have utilized small business set-asides, others have not had set-aside designations.
On the federal grant side, Signature Science has received funding for various research initiatives. The company has worked on projects for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists, developing forecasting and modeling tools for infectious disease outbreaks, including influenza. These efforts have focused on enhancing the use and communication of forecasting for public health decision-making, including the development of visualizations and other communication tools. Signature Science has also been involved in creating biosecurity sequence screening training courses for bioengineers and conducting research on assessing and engineering microbes for bioproduction in conditions of variable radiation. Collaborations have included partnerships with organizations such as the University of Texas at Austin and the Bioindustrial Manufacturing and Design Ecosystem.
Signature Science currently holds a significant Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) with the Department of Homeland Security's Science and Technology Directorate. This single-award IDC, valued at up to $95 million over five years, allows the company to provide a wide range of research, development, testing, and evaluation services to the DHS Transportation Security Laboratory. The contract focuses on enabling new security technologies and assessing vulnerabilities related to transportation security. Specific task areas under this IDC include applied research to enable testing, developmental testing and evaluation of detection solutions, and assessment of vulnerabilities and mitigation strategies. This IDC serves as a key vehicle for DHS to issue task orders related to advancing transportation security technologies and capabilities.
