Acquisitions and Grants Support Services
The Food and Drug Administration's (FDA's) mission is "Protecting consumers and enhancing public health by maximizing compliance of FDA regulated products and minimizing risk associated with those products." And our vision is: "All food is safe; all medical products are safe and effective; and the public health is advanced and protected."
The Office of Acquisitions and Grants Support Services primarily serves the Agency by initiating contracts, grants and cooperative agreements, inter-agency agreements (IAAs), and oversees the FDA's Government Purchase Card Program. Due to the high workload associated with completing acquisition actions to include requirement development, award documentation, and conducting contract close-out actions; it has become necessary for OAGS to seek external acquisition support services to assist with completing the multitude of work activities.
OAGS completes several thousand-acquisition actions on an annual basis. These actions include contracts, grants and cooperative agreements, and IAAs.
The primary objectives of this contract include the following:
• Provide acquisition and grant support services to OAGS as related to the full spectrum of acquisition activities, in accordance with the IDIQ Contract and Individual Task Orders (ITOs).
• Ensure contracts, grants and cooperative agreements, and inter-agency agreements are awarded per designated service level agreement (SLA) and in accordance with requisite statutes.
• Provide program and task order management for the Acquisitions and Grants Support Services IDIQ requirements during the prescribed period of performance.
It is the FDA's intent to award one (1) indefinite delivery-indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract, with an ordering period of five (5) years and a ceiling of $19,000,000.00.
