INTRODUCTION:

The U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA) has assumed post award administration of the OMNIBUS IV Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts. The OMNIBUS IV IDIQ contracts support military medical research and development and have a cumulative $10 billion award ceiling.

USAMRAA is issuing this SSN in support of the OMNIBUS IV contract vehicle to identify small businesses (within all small business socioeconomic categories - 8(a) participants, HUBZone, Women-Owned Small Businesses, Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Businesses, and Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses). The general purpose of this notice is to identify small businesses (who are not currently Omnibus award holders) vendors who would be interested in submitting a proposal to join the OMNIBUS IV contract vehicle.

Results from this market research may be evaluated as part of the Government’s decision to on-ramp additional vendors to the contract vehicle.

BACKGROUND:

The OMNIBUS IV is a military medical research and development IDIQ contract vehicle that can be used across the Department of Defense (DoD) to enhance military health readiness, resilience, and rehabilitation. DoD end users can use OMNIBUS IV to support Medical Research and Development (R&D) efforts (Market Segment 1), Medical R&D Support Services (Market Segment 2), Regulatory Process Support (Market Segment 3), and Translational Science Support and Services (Market Segment 4).

The cumulative ceiling of the IDIQ contract is $10 billion. To-date, the accumulated awarded task order value is over $400 million across 40 task orders. Orders have been issued by a growing number of end users including USAMRAA, the Defense Health Agency Contracting Activity, the Naval Supply Systems Command, and the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences. Task Orders have been issued on a Fair Opportunity basis and an Exception to Fair Opportunity basis, including orders set aside for small business concerns identified in FAR 19.000(a)(3).

The OMNIBUS IV was awarded under full and open competition in June 2022 with a base ordering period of 20 June 2022 through 19 June 2027, and Option 1 Ordering Period of 20 June 2027 – 19 June 2032.

Currently, the OMNIBUS IV includes 56 Contract Holders (HT001122D0001 – HT001122D0056). They currently include:

• 30 Small Businesses

• 8 Women-Owned Small Businesses

The DoD medical force seeks to ensure efficient and effective discovery and delivery of medical solutions that enhance warfighter health and readiness. Funded research aligns directly to prioritized requirements and capability gaps to ensure successful research efforts transition into medical materiel products or into clinical practice as knowledge products. The goal is to establish and maintain collaborative medical partnerships across the medical field in industry and academia. The proficiency area seeks core missions and competencies in world-class professionals and state-of-the-art facilities to find medical solutions for the Department and Defense while adhering with full aptitude to all Federal, State, and DoD Process, Rules, Regulations, and Standards. An Offeror providing demonstrative qualifications in this Market Segment may/can be representing itself as a University Affiliated Research Center (UARC), Contract Research Organization (CRO), a company operating under a CRO-based business model, Contract Drug Development Manufacturer Organization (CDMO) or other entity capable of self-directed research, Independent R&D (IRAD) or Contracted R&D (CRAD). Performance by the contractor is in support of government research programs, projects, and protocols.

R&D Support Services: This is for work where the performance by the Contractor is in support of the research and protocols and pertains to performance where support services are prevalent over performance of the actual research by the contractor.

Organizations providing demonstrative qualifications in this Market Segment may be performing, but are not limited to, tasks such as administration; staff support; subject matter expertise consult; non-inherently government function management and oversight support to R&D leadership; drafting congressional responses regarding medical research programs; program management support; scientific/technical strategic planning; portfolio management; or execution management at the level of headquarters.

ATTACHEMENT 1

OMNIBUS IV PROGRAM AREAS AND MARKET SEGMENTS

federal, DoD, and Service regulations. This Market Segment provides strategies to foster and oversee the compliance and ethics of all research, tests, and studies involving human and animal use across the Department of Defense. It further supports funding and industry cooperation principles that lead short- and long-term strategic planning, provide operational direction and guidance, and ensure policy compliance for ongoing medical research from development through to transition. An organization providing demonstrative qualifications in this proficiency area may/can be representing itself as a Contract Research Organization (CRO) or a company operating under a CRO-based business model. Other examples may include but are not limited to, a company versed in compliance with regulations associated with animal use, human subjects, Personally Identifiable Information (PII), Protected Health Information (PHI), or Institutional Review Board (IRB) protocols.

Organizations having Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) expertise in this Market Segment would be desirable in support of DoD projects/programs. This is for work where the performance by the contractor is in support of government research and protocols. TOs addressing this Market Segment shall be sensitive to conflict-of-interest issues.

f. Technology Transfer

Translational Science Support and Services: Translation is the process of turning observations in the laboratory, clinic and community into interventions that improve the health of individuals and the public – from diagnostics and therapeutics to medical procedures and behavioral changes. Translation services are activities that support translation. Translational science is the field of investigation focused on understanding the scientific and operational principles underlying each step of the translational process. In this context, translation is migrating science and enhanced technology (including equipment) for use in MTFs, deployed environments or non-DoD hospitals, where applicable to the research effort and specified in the TO.

Translation service and support can include lifecycle support requirements associated with translation activity. Lifecycle support requirements are requirements for availability, scalability, maintainability, supportability, and other requirements as appropriate for the specific initiative. OMNIBUS IV does not support post-translation or product sustainment and does not currently fund the equipping of fielded units, which is a Title 10 authority aligned to Services.

This is for work where the performance by the contractor is performing and/or supporting government translational science and service activities. TOs addressing this Market Segment shall be sensitive to conflict-of-interest issues.

Expected expertise in Translational Science Support and Services includes but is not limited to the following:

a. Pre-Transition Support
