Antibiotic for Treatment of Bacterial Pneumonia or Bloodstream Infections 75A50125R00002
Summary
AI-generated · Aug 24, 2025BARDA is seeking qualified vendors to advance late-stage development, procurement, and stockpiling of antibiotics to treat HABP/VABP and/or BSI caused by drug-resistant bacteria and/or biothreat pathogens, with potential use for post-exposure prophylaxis or treatment of biothreat pathogens. Target programs include those that have already reached or will reach an FDA Phase 2 milestone by a stated deadline for HABP/VABP or BSI, or approved products with sufficient data to justify biothreat development. Vendors must provide all necessary services and personnel and demonstrate domestic manufacturing capabilities or a clear plan to onshore drug substance manufacturing and fill/finish, with a defined approach and timeline for bringing onshore production.
Work may be performed at the responder’s facilities or subcontracted to commercial labs, CROs, or CMOs, and the total period of performance is up to 120 months, with base and option periods that may overlap. Contracts are anticipated to be awarded for work beginning in 2025. Notable constraints include that procurement will not use Federal Supply Schedules or GWACs, and all respondents must be SAM-registered. Four notices with essentially the same scope are issued; no additional changes to the requirements are indicated.
BARDA seeks to identify qualified vendors capable of advancing the development of antibiotics for the treatment of hospital-acquired and ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia (HABP/VABP) and bloodstream infections (BSI), as well as post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) and/or treatment of biothreat pathogens. In direct support of BARDA s preparedness and response posture, the antibiotics will be positioned for potential procurement. Capable vendors must furnish all necessary services, qualified professional, technical and administrative personnel, materials, equipment, and facilities to perform the required tasks. The target product description and mandatory source requirements are antibiotic programs that 1) already have or expect to hold their end-of-Phase 2 meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) by May 1, 2025, with an intended indication for the treatment of HABP/VABP; 2) or already have or expect to hold their end-of-Phase 2 meeting with the FDA by May 1, 2025, with an intended indication for the treatment of BSI; 3) or already have or expect to hold their end-of-Phase 2 meeting with the FDA by May 1, 2025, with an intended indication for the treatment of HABP/VABP or BSI that could also be developed for a biothreat indication; 4) or antibiotics that are approved for HABP/VABP and/or BSI that have sufficient data to warrant development for a biothreat indication. This project is for investing in late-stage development, procurement, and stockpiling of antibiotics to treat HABP/VABP and/or BSI caused by drug-resistant bacterial and/or biothreat pathogens, and actively seeks vendors with existing domestic manufacturing capabilities or at minimum a timeline and summarized approach to onshore drug substance manufacturing and fill/finish of drug product. The total period of performance will be no more than 120 months; the period of performance for the Base and Option periods may overlap; the duration of each period will be dependent on the work proposed. Contract(s) expected to be executed September 30, 2025-September 30, 2026. The work will be performed at the responder s facilities or subcontracted out to commercial laboratories, contract research organizations, and/or contract manufacturing organizations. Unique requirements include domestic drug substance and fill/finish drug product manufacturing, implemented or a timeline and summary of the approach to onshore manufacturing. Federal Supply Schedules and Government Wide Acquisition contracts are not available to purchase this service. Currently, there are no identified related requirements that will affect this service and conversely, this service will not affect other requirements. All respondents must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM): https://www.sam.gov.
