Purchase Order 61320624N0043

The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) awarded a sole-source contract to University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) on July 1, 2024, with a ceiling value of $348.67K and an ultimate completion date of June 30, 2029. Under this firm fixed-price purchase order, UPMC will provide data collection and statistical reporting on consumer product-related injuries to support CPSC's mission of identifying and reducing consumer injury hazards. The contract was awarded without a set-aside designation pursuant to FAR 6.302-1, which authorizes sole-source awards when only one responsible source is available. UPMC was selected through CPSC's randomized hospital selection process, under which hospitals are statistically selected via computer program to participate in this data collection initiative.

This contract represents a continuation of UPMC's established relationship with CPSC, as the organization has previously received multiple sole-source awards to collect injury data with valuations ranging from approximately $334K to $664K. The work will be performed at UPMC's Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania facility, leveraging the health system's existing infrastructure and expertise in healthcare data analysis. As a major academic medical center and non-profit healthcare organization, UPMC possesses the necessary capabilities to compile and analyze injury-related data from patient encounters, supporting CPSC's public health mission and regulatory initiatives.
