About this vehicle
The CDC Pittsburgh established this multi-award Blanket Purchase Agreement for health research services on November 15, 2012, with a shared ceiling of $400 million. Ordering closed on November 14, 2022, making this vehicle inactive for new task orders.
The vehicle funded 192 task orders over its 10-year ordering window, with the last award issued September 30, 2022. Annual ordering ranged from 10 to 31 calls per year, peaking in 2019 at 31 orders. Combined task-order potential value reached $504.3 million, with $344.3 million obligated (68% of combined potential). Task-order values ranged widely, from under $200,000 to $7.3 million, with most firm-fixed-price awards falling in the $500,000 to $2 million band and some time-and-materials efforts extending to multi-million-dollar ceilings.
Competition was concentrated among large research organizations. Battelle Memorial Institute led by potential value at $197.7 million across 16 orders, followed by ABT Global LLC with $112.9 million across 21 orders, Research Triangle Institute with $67.3 million across 50 orders, ICF Incorporated with $58.5 million across 38 orders, and National Opinion Research Center with $37 million across 33 orders. These five primes captured 94 percent of combined potential value. The remaining seven primes split the balance.
Customer concentration was extreme: CDC Pittsburgh placed 187 of 192 orders (97 percent, $503.1 million potential value), with the CDC Office of Acquisition Services accounting for the remaining 5 orders at $1.2 million. Set-aside activity was negligible; 190 orders carried no set-aside designation, and only 2 small-business orders appeared across the entire portfolio.
Scope spanned clinical and epidemiological research supporting CDC public health programs: implementation research on lifestyle interventions, vaccination coverage assessments, HIV prevention and diagnosis research, cancer detection and survivor support, opioid-use disorder evaluation, disaster-response studies, and data quality and registry development. Recent 2022 awards addressed environmental scanning, anti-racism assessment, lifestyle change implementation, and vaccine confidence.
