Delivery Order #75A50125F61004

Multi-Year Delivery Order for Sulfur Mustard Inhalation Injury Model Research

This award represents a multi-year delivery order contract granted to Battelle Memorial Institute under an existing indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Battelle Memorial Institute, a renowned U.S.-owned research and development organization, specializes in health and science, contributing critical expertise in biomedical research. The contract focuses on the development and use of a human-relevant small animal model to study inhalation injuries caused by sulfur mustard, facilitating the screening and evaluation of potential medical countermeasures (MCMs). The significance of this contract lies in its support of BARDA's Chemical, Radiological, and Nuclear (CRN) initiative, which is vital for enhancing public health preparedness against chemical threats. The contract encompasses substantial preclinical research to advance the understanding and mitigation of chemical exposure effects, bolstering national health defense capabilities. The work scope includes comprehensive development and application of animal models tailored to assess sulfur mustard-induced pulmonary injuries, enabling effective screening of therapeutic interventions. This delivery order was competitively awarded via the parent IDIQ contract, itself a product of full and open competition, ensuring rigorous selection standards. Key aspects include a performance timeline starting in late 2025, spanning through 2027 with potential extensions through 2030, reflecting a long-term commitment to combating chemical threats. Notably, no key subcontractors or additional solicitations are linked directly to this delivery order, underscoring Battelle's central role. The parent IDIQ contract supporting this award was similarly competitively obtained and designed to facilitate critical animal model development under BARDA's CRN framework.
