R&D- Medical: Specialized Medical Services (Applied Research/Exploratory Development)

PSC Category AN72 encompasses specialized medical research and development focused on applied research and exploratory development in medical sciences. This category covers advanced medical service investigations that aim to develop innovative medical technologies, diagnostic techniques, treatment methodologies, and medical equipment prototypes. The research typically involves complex medical engineering, clinical service innovations, and specialized scientific investigations that push the boundaries of current medical understanding and technological capabilities.

Federal contract awards within this PSC category demonstrate significant investment in medical research across multiple federal agencies. Typical contract values range from $500,000 to $5 million, with durations spanning 18-36 months. Common funding agencies include the Department of Defense, National Institutes of Health, and Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). These awards frequently target small business set-asides, particularly for minority-owned and service-disabled veteran-owned research organizations. Performance locations are predominantly concentrated in major research hubs such as Maryland, Massachusetts, California, and Texas, with significant work occurring at medical research institutions, university laboratories, and specialized medical research facilities.
