The Achieving Public Health Impact Through Research (APHITR) Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) is a multi-award contract vehicle established by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to support a wide range of public health research, evaluation, and technical assistance services. The vehicle enables the CDC to rapidly procure specialized research capabilities across multiple disciplines, including epidemiological studies, health system assessments, survey research, data collection and analysis, and program implementation. Task orders under this BPA focus on addressing critical public health challenges, developing innovative interventions, and generating actionable insights to improve population health outcomes.

The task orders under this BPA reflect a diverse range of public health research initiatives, with contract values typically ranging from approximately $200,000 to $7,000,000 and performance periods spanning 12-36 months. Frequently awarded prime contractors include Research Triangle Institute (RTI) International, National Opinion Research Center (NORC), ICF Incorporated, ABT Associates, and Westat, Inc. Most task orders are firm fixed price or time and materials contracts, with performance locations predominantly in research triangle areas like Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, Chicago, Illinois, and Fairfax, Virginia. The contract vehicle does not utilize specific set-aside designations, allowing broad competition among research organizations. Common research domains include disease prevention, health system improvements, vaccination strategies, chronic disease management, public health communication, and emerging health challenges such as pandemic preparedness and health equity.
