Indefinite Delivery Contract HS002119D0085

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention awarded the New Jersey Department of Health an indefinite delivery contract worth up to $5 million to provide National Center for Health Statistics Vital Statistics Cooperative Program services through April 2027. Two firm fixed price delivery orders under this contract, each valued at approximately $616,000, task the New Jersey Department of Health to support national birth and death data collection efforts. The contract aims to facilitate the continued partnership between the New Jersey Department of Health and CDC to provide important public health statistics. As the designated public health agency for New Jersey, the Department of Health will leverage its expertise and infrastructure to collect vital records from across the state and report aggregate data to the CDC. This will allow the CDC to maintain its national database of birth and death records, a critical function that enables public health surveillance and research. No set-aside was used for this single award contract, which runs through 2027 with the New Jersey Department of Health as the prime contractor.
