Purchase Order 61320624N0010

The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) awarded a firm fixed price purchase order to Avera St. Luke's (doing business as Avera Neurology Specialists) on July 1, 2024, for data collection services on consumer product-related injuries. The contract, valued at $60.3K with an ultimate completion date of June 30, 2029, was awarded without a set-aside designation under FAR 6.302-1 authority for sole source procurement. Avera St. Luke's, a non-profit hospital and subsidiary of the Avera Health system based in Aberdeen, South Dakota, was randomly selected through a computer-based statistical selection process to participate in the CPSC's data collection initiative. The hospital will provide periodic data reports on consumer product injuries that will support the CPSC's statistical analysis and consumer safety initiatives.

The originating Special Notice, posted in November 2023, outlined the CPSC's intent to award multiple sole source contracts to randomly selected U.S. hospitals to establish a consistent data collection mechanism for consumer product injury reporting. No set-aside was applied to this procurement, and participating hospitals were selected without the ability to request or influence their participation in the program. As a healthcare provider within the Avera Health system, Avera St. Luke's brings established experience in federal contracts and grants, including prior involvement in public health initiatives and emergency response efforts, positioning the organization to effectively collect and report the required injury data to support the CPSC's mission.
