Contract Overview
Contract Overview
- Contract Name: The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Historically Black College and University (HBCU) Path to Excellence and Innovation (PEI) Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ)
- Contract #: 75N98024D00018 (Task Area 3, Laboratory Services-Products) and 75N98025D00003 (Task Area 4, Public Health Outreach & Communications)
- Contract Description: This comprehensive vehicle aims to strengthen the capacity of HBCUs to participate in Federal programs and access Federal resources, including procurement opportunities. For more than 150 years, HBCUs have served this country as engines of economic growth, cultural diversity, and academic achievements. Despite their historic contributions to science and healthcare innovation, HBCUs remain significantly underutilized in Federal contracts which includes securing less than 1% of the NIH annual acquisition award funding. The NIH HBCU PEI IDIQ contract vehicle teams experienced small Federal contractors with HBCUs to enhance their ability to compete for and win contracts from NIH, strengthening their ability to participate in federal programs and diversify their revenue streams.
ARDX is proud to have been awarded the NIH HBCU PIE IDIQ for Task 3 and Task 4 and the only awardee of multiple tasks for this IDIQ. ARDX (Prime contractor- small) is partnered with HBCUs – Hampton University (HU) and Virginia State University (VSU), along with our distinguished small business partner, JI-Solutions, to provide an impactful team to collaborate on NIH mission-critical programs.
Task 3 — Laboratory Services & Products
Laboratory Services (and supporting products) involves services related to lab tests, including detailing information and specimen collection supplies for supported lab tests, lab test requisitioning and ordering, lab test specimen collection and accessioning, lab tests performed on specimens, recording of lab test results, delivery of lab test results, as well as billing and collection for lab services.
Task 4 — Public Health Outreach & Communications
Public health outreach focuses on identifying specific geographic regions that may face higher levels of need or significant barriers toward living healthy lives. Compared to a community with access to nutritious food and health care services, those at a disadvantage often have shorter life spans. The objective of public health outreach is to improve and extend the reach of health care through activities such as health education, case management, basic health screening, and facilitating access to services. These activities can directly and indirectly improve health outcomes of individuals and communities.
