CDC Center for Preparedness and Response Professional Services 2019 - 2024

The Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Pittsburgh established this Master BPA on August 30, 2019, to procure professional services supporting emergency preparedness and response operations; ordering closed on August 29, 2024, and the vehicle is no longer active.

The BPA operated with a $100 million shared ceiling and awarded 31 task orders with a combined potential value of $216.2 million, of which $154.8 million (72 percent) has been obligated. Orders placed heavily in 2020 (14 orders) and 2021 (9 orders) in response to COVID-19, then declined sharply—dropping to 5 orders in 2022 and 3 in 2023, with the most recent award on August 28, 2023. Task-order scope included data analytics and visualization, electronic case reporting systems, emergency operations center modernization, training coordination, management consulting, organizational reorganization support, and policy analysis. Pricing structures mixed labor hours, time-and-materials, and firm-fixed-price delivery models. Task-order values ranged from under $200,000 to individual ceilings exceeding $54 million, with several mega-orders for data analytics and emergency response infrastructure.

Competition concentrated heavily at the top: Booz Allen Hamilton held four orders valued at $100.2 million (46 percent of combined potential value), Deloitte Consulting held nine orders at $62.8 million, and General Dynamics Information Technology held six orders at $38 million. These three firms captured roughly 83 percent of combined potential value. A long tail of small and mid-size firms—Gap Solutions, Logistics Systems Incorporated, and Leidos—held the remaining five orders. Ninety-four percent of task orders carried no set-aside designation, reflecting unrestricted competition among all six awardees.

All 31 task orders funded the same customer: CDC Center for Preparedness and Response Pittsburgh. The vehicle served exclusively as a procurement vehicle for a single federal customer organization, with no cross-agency distribution of work.

Most task orders obligated substantial fractions of their potential value; several were fully obligated or near-ceiling. Given the August 2024 ordering cutoff and the absence of task-order awards after August 2023, this vehicle is closed to new orders and represents a legacy contract family focused on pandemic emergency response surge capacity.
