CDC Cincinatti

The Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Cincinnati is a sub-agency within HHS that procures goods and services supporting infectious disease surveillance, prevention research, and outbreak response operations. Contract activity at CDC Cincinnati has substantially declined over the past decade. The agency awarded 1,588 federal contracts cumulatively since 1995, with the most recent award closed in March 2016. Annual award volume dropped sharply from 31 contracts in 2012 to single digits thereafter: 16 in 2013, 1 in 2014, 1 in 2015, and 3 in 2016. The combined award potential value across all contracts is $325.9 million, with $65.6 million obligated to date—20 percent of potential value.

The contract base is highly fragmented across 677 distinct prime contractors, indicating no dominant vendor concentration. The set-aside mix is heavily weighted toward open competition: 88 percent of awards carry no set-aside designation, while small-business set-asides (competitive and reserved combined) account for 10 percent of awards. Sole-source and competitive 8(a) awards represent 2 percent of the portfolio, with minimal HUBZone preference activity. This distribution reflects a procurement posture oriented toward full-and-open competition rather than small-business or minority-owned enterprise carve-outs.

No recent contract awards or contract opportunities are recorded against CDC Cincinnati in the current dataset. The absence of activity since March 2016 and lack of open solicitation records suggest the sub-agency's procurement operations have been consolidated, suspended, or transferred to parent-HHS contracting offices or other CDC facilities. Business development professionals should treat this portfolio as inactive for current pursuit and verify whether procurement authority and funds have been realigned to other HHS contracting venues before allocating resources to opportunity monitoring at this sub-agency.
