The Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (HHS-CDC) awarded a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to Westat, Inc., a prominent professional services firm, to provide a wide range of research, technical assistance, and program support services. The BPA, known as the "Health Marketing Services BPA", allows the CDC to issue task orders to Westat for services such as survey research, data collection and analysis, program evaluation, and information technology solutions across various public health domains.
The task orders awarded to Westat under this BPA include developing digital media packages to increase cervical cancer screening, providing communication support for CDC programs like the Prevention Research and Translation Branch and the "Erase Maternal Mortality" initiative, conducting focus group studies on topics like Salmonella, and supporting HIV prevention communications and partnership development efforts. These task orders range in value from approximately $100,000 to over $14 million, with a mix of firm fixed price and time and materials pricing structures. The work is primarily performed at Westat's office in Potomac, Maryland, and the contracts do not utilize any small business set-asides.
