Detect and Control Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases IDIQ

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued a Master IDIQ on September 1, 2014, as an 8(a) small business set-aside to support the National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), with a combined potential value of $55 million. Ordering under this vehicle closed on August 31, 2019, and no new task orders may be placed.

The vehicle supported three categories of professional services: program operations and administrative support, communication and education activities, and consulting services for strategic planning and organizational design. Task orders funded work across research and laboratory activities, workforce development, and operational infrastructure for the Division of Global Migration and Quarantine (DGMQ).

Eight task orders awarded under the vehicle between September 2014 and August 2018, with activity concentrated in the first two years (four awards in 2014, two in 2015, one in 2016, one in 2018). Task-order ceilings ranged from approximately $150,000 to $26.8 million, with a mega-order to Eagle Medical Services, LLC (HHSD2002014606850002) for control and detection of Ebola operations ceiling at $26.8 million. The combined task-order potential value reached $64.1 million against the vehicle's $55 million shared ceiling, with $40.4 million obligated as of the last reported period (63% utilization).

Two firms dominated awards by value: Karna LLC secured three orders totaling $30.7 million in combined potential value, and Eagle Medical Services, LLC secured two orders totaling $27.8 million. Time Solutions, LLC and IHRC, Incorporated held the remaining two orders. All task orders used Firm Fixed Price pricing, and all funding derived from CDC Pittsburgh.

Since ordering closed nearly seven years ago, this vehicle no longer accepts new applications. Contractors seeking similar work with CDC should monitor the agency for successor or replacement vehicles supporting infectious disease program operations and strategic consulting.
