About this opportunity
This solicitation seeks proposals from organizations to establish multiple Accelerator Hubs under the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority's (BARDA) Accelerator Network 2.0 initiative. BARDA intends to execute Other Transaction Agreements with respondents to establish at least one Hub focused on each of five technology areas: therapeutics/vaccines, diagnostics/medical devices, digital health, enabling technologies, and special populations. Hubs will provide wraparound accelerator services, manage development, evaluation, and validation funding of up to $200,000 per project through subawards, and demonstrate rapid response capabilities. Proposals are due on staggered dates between September 2023 and January 2024, with awards intended within 90-120 days.
There is no set-aside designation. Potential NAICS codes include 541715 and 541712, with possible PSC codes R408 and U002. Each agreement will have a two-year base period and ceiling of $500 million over ten years. Base funding of $1.5 million will be provided annually for each Hub's wraparound services, with additional optional funds available. The place of performance will be the location of each Hub.

The Office of Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), within the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response (ASPR) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) seeks to establish partnerships to build the next iteration of the BARDA Accelerator Network (BAN 2.0) using BARDA’s Other Transaction Authority to foster the health security innovation ecosystem with commercialization and wrap-around support and to enable rapid development, evaluation, validation, and commercialization of medical countermeasures. With BAN 2.0, BARDA aims to further enhance the global health security innovation ecosystem, optimize startup acceleration and wrap-around services, and ultimately develop the Accelerator Network as a scalable infrastructure for commercialization including active product development support, and validation capabilities during regular operations as well as rapid response during public health emergencies.
BARDA envisions that BAN 2.0 will support BARDA’s mission by addressing the following objectives/tasks:
- Support health security innovators, startups, and existing BARDA partners already receiving BARDA funding (“BARDA funded partners”) by providing wraparound accelerator services including entrepreneurship education and access to technical and business/commercialization expertise and resources.
- Provide BARDA with capabilities to source, review, fund, and accelerate startups and perform product development, evaluation, and validation of MCMs based on BARDA’s strategic priorities.
- Build a rapid emergency response infrastructure to fund and accelerate product development and validation of MCMs that can be developed and deployed as quickly as possible in the event of a public health emergency.
BARDA intends to enter into other transaction agreements with five or more Accelerator Hub organizations with each Accelerator Hub providing resources and support focused on one of the following Technology Areas:
- Therapeutics/Vaccines
- Diagnostics/Medical Devices
- Digital Health
- Enabling Technologies (e.g., Biomanufacturing/Drug Development/Clinical Support)
- Special Populations (e.g., Pediatrics, low resource settings)
Submissions are due at 12:00PM ET on the due dates listed below for each technology area. BARDA may adjust the closing date for submissions under any of the following technology areas through amendment of this notice.
- Diagnostics/Medical Devices on September 15, 2023, with the intent to make an award within 90-120 days of the proposal due date.
- Therapeutics/Vaccines on October 2, 2023, with the intent to make an award within 90-120 days of the proposal due date.
- Enabling Technologies on October 2, 2023, with the intent to make an award within 90-120 days of the proposal due date.
- Digital Health on January 12, 2024, with the intent to make an award within 90-120 days of the proposal due date.

Update #1 ·
The Office of Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), within the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response (ASPR) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) seeks to establish partnerships to build the next iteration of the BARDA Accelerator Network (BAN 2.0) using BARDA’s Other Transaction Authority to foster the health security innovation ecosystem with commercialization and wrap-around support and to enable rapid development, evaluation, validation, and commercialization of medical countermeasures. With BAN 2.0, BARDA aims to further enhance the global health security innovation ecosystem, optimize startup acceleration and wrap-around services, and ultimately develop the Accelerator Network as a scalable infrastructure for commercialization including active product development support, and validation capabilities during regular operations as well as rapid response during public health emergencies.
BARDA envisions that BAN 2.0 will support BARDA’s mission by addressing the following objectives/tasks:
- Support health security innovators, startups, and existing BARDA partners already receiving BARDA funding (“BARDA funded partners”) by providing wraparound accelerator services including entrepreneurship education and access to technical and business/commercialization expertise and resources.
- Provide BARDA with capabilities to source, review, fund, and accelerate startups and perform product development, evaluation, and validation of MCMs based on BARDA’s strategic priorities.
- Build a rapid emergency response infrastructure to fund and accelerate product development and validation of MCMs that can be developed and deployed as quickly as possible in the event of a public health emergency.
BARDA intends to enter into other transaction agreements with five or more Accelerator Hub organizations with each Accelerator Hub providing resources and support focused on one of the following Technology Areas:
- Therapeutics/Vaccines
- Diagnostics/Medical Devices
- Digital Health
- Enabling Technologies (e.g., Biomanufacturing/Drug Development/Clinical Support)
- Special Populations (e.g., Pediatrics, low resource settings)
Submissions are due at 12:00PM ET on the due dates listed below for each technology area. BARDA may adjust the closing date for submissions under any of the following technology areas through amendment of this notice.
- Diagnostics/Medical Devices on September 15, 2023, with the intent to make an award within 90-120 days of the proposal due date.
- Therapeutics/Vaccines on October 2, 2023, with the intent to make an award within 90-120 days of the proposal due date.
- Enabling Technologies on October 2, 2023, with the intent to make an award within 90-120 days of the proposal due date.
- Digital Health on January 12, 2024, with the intent to make an award within 90-120 days of the proposal due date.
- Special Populations (e.g., Pediatrics, Immunocompromised, Low Resource Settings) on January 12, 2024, with the intent to make an award within 90-120 days of the proposal due date.
