About this opportunity
The Food and Drug Administration's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research awarded a firm-fixed-price bridge contract valued at $31,654,144.86 to Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Inc. on March 26, 2026, to maintain and operate the congressionally mandated Sentinel System through September 28, 2027. The contract requires Harvard Pilgrim to implement and manage the Active Post-market Risk Identification and Analysis (ARIA) system, which serves a population of at least 100 million individuals for post-approval drug safety surveillance, with deliverables including query design and reporting with 16 simultaneous query slots, 152 principal programming hours, analytic tool maintenance, and Real World Evidence capabilities development. The base period runs from March 29, 2026 through September 28, 2026, with two optional six-month extensions. This sole-source bridge contract was justified under FAR 6.103-1 due to Harvard Pilgrim's 15-year incumbent status, unique project-specific knowledge, established data partnerships, and the risks associated with contractor transition during the interim period before the competitive Sentinel 3.0 contract is awarded in Fiscal Year 2026.
