CDC Technical Health Physics Support Services 2011-2016

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) awarded a Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for Technical Health Physics Support Services to provide specialized radiological public health expertise. The contract, active from 2011 to 2016, enables the CDC's National Center for Environmental Health and Radiation Studies Branch to access technical support for assessing radiation exposure from environmental and medical sources. Task orders under this vehicle focus on technical studies, data modeling, guidance development, and specialized radiation-related research and assessment activities.

The task orders demonstrate a range of technical health physics services, with individual delivery orders typically valued between $50,000 and $250,000 and spanning approximately one year. Key task order scopes include developing internal dosimetry triage guidance for clinicians, tracking radiation doses from medical diagnostic procedures, conducting radiation impact assessments, and performing uncertainty assessments in radiation exposure. All task orders were issued without specific small business set-asides, suggesting potential for both small and large prime contractors. The contract's total shared ceiling was $10 million, with task orders covering technical studies that support the CDC's radiation health research and emergency preparedness capabilities. These task orders were consistently priced as firm fixed-price contracts, indicating predictable and well-defined scope of work.
