The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) intends to award a sole source contract to the Reagan-Udall Foundation for the FDA (RUF) to support execution of its congressionally mandated regulatory mission across 16 project areas addressing high-priority regulatory science gaps and public health challenges.
The work — spanning structured stakeholder engagement, independent scientific convening, and landscape research — is a prerequisite to FDA's ability to develop sound regulatory frameworks and fulfill statutory obligations.
Each project area targets a specific gap where FDA cannot act without the scientific foundation, stakeholder input, or evidence infrastructure this contract provides.
The contract is framed as a high-value investment: the cost of inaction — measured in delayed regulatory frameworks, preventable harm, and eroded public trust — exceeds the cost of the engagement.

Official solicitation and documents
The full solicitation, any attachments, and the actual submission instructions live on the official listing, not on this page. Oppward summarizes public record data; it does not host or mirror the source documents.
Oppward is an independent service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by SAM.gov or any government agency. This page is a plain-English summary of public record data; the linked source above is the authoritative listing.
How to bid on this
This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.
- Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
- Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
- Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
- Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
