Indefinite Delivery Contract 75D30121D12738

This multiple award indefinite delivery contract was awarded by the Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Pittsburgh to Emory University. With a potential value of $99 million and a period of performance from September 2021 through September 2026, this IDV aims to procure research and development services under the Safe Healthcare, Epidemiology, and Prevention Research Development Program.

Specifically, the IDV falls under SHEPHERD Domain 3 and will fund task orders related to epidemiological research, surveillance, and prevention efforts. As no set-aside was used, the IDV is open to all qualified contractors. Emory University will serve as the prime contractor and tasks will likely be performed in locations relevant to the CDC's disease prevention and health security missions.

The original solicitation sought proposals for scientific and technical expertise to support the CDC's Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion. This includes applied research, field investigations, laboratory analyses, program evaluation, and technical assistance. Contractors will aid the CDC's work to combat healthcare-associated infections and improve patient outcomes through applied epidemiology, prevention strategies, and knowledge translation. The award to Emory University will allow them to assist the CDC in these public health priorities over the next five years via task orders issued under the terms of the IDV.
