About this opportunity
The Defense Health Agency, through its Research & Development Division, has awarded a sole-source bridge contract to the Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine for infectious disease surveillance and research services on a Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee basis. The Walter Reed Army Institute of Research determined that HJF is the only responsible source capable of providing these services without an unacceptable break in operations across six African countries: Ethiopia, Kenya, Nigeria, Somalia, Tanzania, and Uganda.
The contract scope includes disease surveillance under approved human subject protocols, collection of clinical and environmental samples, sample transportation and storage, implementation of detection and diagnostic methods, and data analysis with confidentiality protections. The base period runs nine months from September 29, 2026 through June 28, 2027, with one optional three-month extension from June 29, 2027 through September 28, 2027.
The justification cites FAR 6.103-1(b) authority. A Notice of Intent to Sole Source was posted on SAM.gov on August 21, 2026 with a September 2 response deadline. Only one proposal was received—from Project Cues, Inc.—which was deemed unacceptable as it addressed machine learning pathogen forecasting rather than the actual surveillance and research requirements. No other sources responded. Fair and reasonable pricing will be established using historical price and cost analysis, with certified cost or pricing data required from HJF.
