The Simian Vaccine Evaluation Units (SVEU) Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, awarded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), supports preclinical research and development of vaccines and therapeutics, with a primary focus on HIV prevention strategies. The contract vehicle enables the procurement of nonhuman primate resources and services essential for advancing vaccine candidate evaluation, primarily supporting the development of AIDS vaccines and other infectious disease countermeasures. Through this IDIQ, NIAID obtains critical research infrastructure and specialized services to conduct advanced scientific studies involving non-human primates.

The task orders under this SVEU contract are predominantly awarded to three prime contractors: Advanced Bioscience Laboratories (ABL), Bioqual, Inc., and Tulane University. Typical task orders range from $100,000 to $2,500,000, with performance periods spanning 1-3 years, and focus on activities such as nonhuman primate breeding colony management, administrative and technical support for vaccine studies, and conducting specific research protocols. These contracts are consistently cost-plus fixed fee or cost no fee, with no specific small business set-aside designations. The work is primarily performed in research facilities located in Maryland and Louisiana, supporting NIAID's mission of understanding and developing interventions for infectious diseases through advanced preclinical research involving non-human primate models.
