About Battelle National Biodefense Institute, LLC
Battelle National Biodefense Institute, LLC (doing business as Bnbi), a non-profit subsidiary of Battelle Memorial Institute headquartered at Fort Detrick, Maryland, operates the National Biodefense Analysis and Countermeasures Center (NBACC) for the Department of Homeland Security as a prime contractor, delivering biological threat detection, pathogen characterization, countermeasure development, and facility operations and maintenance services on a cost-plus-fixed-fee basis. Bnbi competes exclusively on full-and-open solicitations with no set-aside designations across its entire prime contract footprint; the organization is a wholly owned subsidiary of a non-profit parent and carries no SBA certifications.
Bnbi's customer concentration is singular and absolute. The Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate accounts for 103 of 109 total awards and $641.2 million of the combined potential value across all awards. The remaining four awards (totaling $329.6 million in combined potential value) went to the DHS Chief Procurement Officer (2 awards), the DHS Office of Procurement Operations (2 awards), the DHS Office of the Under Secretary for Management (1 award), and the Department of the Navy United States Fleet Forces Command Atlantic (1 award). This concentration reflects Bnbi's role as the sole operator of the NBACC facility; nearly all federal work flows through the parent indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract HSHQDC-15-C-00064, which hosts 105 task orders with combined potential value of $112 million.
Bnbi's capability portfolio centers on NBACC facility operations, laboratory research infrastructure, and specialized biodefense analytical work. Representative recent work includes a $2 million cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order awarded July 3, 2026, for equipment acquisition and demonstration project planning under the Generative Unconstrained Intelligent Drug Engineering (GUIDE) Phase II program; a $2.56 million cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order awarded March 19, 2026, for insurance services and facility operations under the NBACC 2026 program year; a $6.42 million cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order awarded September 29, 2024, to utilize Inflation Reduction Act funds for Phase II of the NBACC Energy Recovery System project; and a $10.55 million cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order awarded September 22, 2023, for EPDM roof replacement and laboratory equipment acquisition. Additional work includes rapid detection analytics, sterilized laboratory waste disposal, facility maintenance and security upgrades, network infrastructure refresh, physical access control system upgrades, and specialized research into pathogen exposure routes and detection methods for the Laboratory Response Network.
Activity has declined year over year from twelve awards in 2022 to two awards by 2026 (year-to-date), though the underlying contract vehicle remains active. Six awards with combined potential value of $15 million are scheduled to complete in the next twenty-four months, creating modest recompete exposure. Service Contract Inventory data covering federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold show SCI-reported invoicing of $36.8 million across FY2022–FY2024 (FY2022: $12.4 million across 9.0 FTEs; FY2023: $7.5 million across 7.5 FTEs; FY2024: $16.9 million across 3.9 FTEs). On SCI-reportable prime contracts, government-paid hourly rates ranged from a 10th percentile of $133.56/hr through a median of $365.67/hr to a 90th percentile of $12,733.74/hr, reflecting a mix of laboratory technician-level and senior scientific labor. Bnbi operates as a prime contractor (100% of awards) with minimal subcontractor engagement; across SCI-reportable prime contracts, an average of 5 percent of total contractor hours were performed by five named subcontractors, indicating Bnbi builds and staffs its delivery teams internally. Place of performance is centered at the NBACC facility in Frederick, Maryland, with subordinate work at Atlantic City, New Jersey and Washington, D.C. locations identified in the contract record.
