Company to provide advisory and assistance services for
biomedical and health research
ECS, a leader in advanced technology, science, and engineering
solutions and an ASGN (NYSE: ASGN) brand, has been named a prime
contractor on a five-year, $500M indefinite delivery/indefinite
quality (IDIQ) contract from the Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health
(ARPA-H).
The Strategic Technical ARPA-H Talent Support (STATS) contract
vehicle calls for systems engineering, technical advisory support,
and other professional services including financial management and
program management. STATS is a new contract for ECS.
Established in 2022, ARPA-H supports the development of
high-impact research to drive biomedical and health breakthroughs
and deliver transformative, sustainable, and equitable health
solutions for all Americans.
Under the contract, ECS will support ARPA-H in managing pivotal
investments in breakthrough technologies and broadly applicable
platforms, capabilities, resources, and solutions. This work will
directly support the biomedical and health research programs at the
heart of ARPA-H’s mission. It will also enable ARPA-H to leverage
ECS services and solutions across their forward-facing mission
offices and support offices.
“ECS has decades of experience in two key areas that position us
to support ARPA-H's mission. First, we’ve served as a prime
contractor with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency,
which pioneered the federal “ARPA Model” used by ARPA-H today.
Second, we’ve acted as a health modernization agent, directly
supporting transformational programs across DHA, VA, HHS, and
innovative programs across the National Institutes of Health,” said
John Heneghan, president of ECS. “We’re thrilled to have this
opportunity to deliver inaugural contract services to a new federal
agency, while also expanding our ability to deliver health
modernization expertise to the frontlines of biotech and health
innovation.”
“We are thrilled to support ARPA-H as it takes on the most
urgent challenges in our health ecosystem,” said Asad Akhtar, vice
president of Health Analytics, Automation, and Artificial
Intelligence at ECS. “These challenges range from escalating rates
of chronic disease to inequitable access to high-quality health
care, to the rise of antimicrobial resistance.”
