The Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics (DCEG) Field and Biospecimen Support Services is a Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract supporting complex epidemiological and genetic research programs at the National Cancer Institute. The contract enables comprehensive technical support services across multiple research domains, including field study management, biospecimen collection, exposure assessment, clinical support, and research transition activities. Contractors provide technical assistance to approximately 150 scientists conducting large-scale domestic and international studies involving diverse research methodologies such as retrospective and cohort studies, case-control studies, family studies, and randomized clinical trials.

Recent task orders under this vehicle demonstrate a consistent pattern of cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery orders ranging from approximately $3 million to $33 million, predominantly awarded to professional services firms like Westat, Inc. and Social & Scientific Systems. Key task orders support specific research branches including the Metabolic Epidemiology Branch, Infections and Immunoepidemiology Branch, Integrative Tumor Epidemiology Branch, and Occupational and Environmental Epidemiology Branch. The contract has no specific small business set-aside, and task orders span various research domains such as agricultural health studies, HPV evaluation projects, radiation-related cancer studies, and clinical genetic epidemiology. Task order periods of performance typically range from 4-10 years, with ultimate completion dates extending through 2030-2032, reflecting the long-term strategic research goals of the National Cancer Institute.
