About this opportunity

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR) Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) is seeking to award a cost-plus-fixed-fee contract to develop standardized radiation dosimetry guidelines and fabricate phantoms for nonclinical animal models across BARDA's Radiological and Nuclear Countermeasures (RadNuc) research portfolio. The goal is to harmonize radiation dosimetry methodology and ensure consistent, accurate data to facilitate comparison across studies. Key requirements include compiling a catalog of available phantoms, developing new phantoms as needed, establishing an inventory of irradiators, conducting baseline evaluations and follow-up assessments of irradiators at participating institutions, and documenting each institution's dosimetry guidelines and procedures. The contractor will also be responsible for project management tasks such as periodic reporting and meetings. The solicitation is open to all interested parties, and the deadline for responses is July 5, 2024.

This solicitation is not set-aside for any specific business type. The potential contract duration is a 2-year base period with three 1-year option periods, for a total potential performance period of 5 years. The place of performance is Washington, DC, USA.

Notice text

The mission of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), an organization within the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response (ASPR) in the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), is to develop medical countermeasures (MCMs) that address the public health and medical consequences of chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) accidents, incidents, and attacks; pandemic influenza; and emerging infectious diseases.

BARDA has identified a need to develop standardized radiation dosimetry guidelines for nonclinical models used by research institutions across the BARDA radiation research portfolio.  Standardized guidelines leading to dosimetry harmonization across the portfolio are necessary to ensure consistent, accurate data and to facilitate comparison across studies.

BARDA is interested in harmonizing radiation dosimetry methodology across the BARDA radiation research portfolio. BARDA is particularly interested in developing source-independent, standardized dosimetry methods to facilitate harmonization across institutions that collaborate with BARDA on MCM development.
