Epidemiology and Strategic Information Services (ESIS)

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Procurement and Grants Office awarded a Master IDIQ for Epidemiology and Strategic Information Services (ESIS) on January 14, 2011, with a shared ceiling of $100 million; ordering closed on January 13, 2016, and this vehicle is no longer active. The contract procures technical assistance, capacity building, and support for CDC-funded global health activities and programs, with emphasis on HIV/AIDS, across up to 73 countries, encompassing health information systems, monitoring and evaluation, costing and economic evaluation, epidemiologic investigation and analysis, surveys and surveillance, statistics, and modeling.

All 19 task orders awarded under ESIS carry no set-aside designation and compete unrestricted. Three prime contractors captured all activity: ICF Macro Inc. holds the dominant position with 9 orders valued at $20.9 million combined potential value; The Trustees of Columbia University in The City of New York received 4 orders ($11.3 million); and Westat, Inc. won 6 orders ($5.7 million). ICF Macro's share represents roughly 55 percent of combined potential value, making this vehicle moderately concentrated among the prime base.

The CDC Office of Acquisition Services placed 15 orders valued at $28.8 million combined potential value; the CDC Pittsburgh office placed 4 orders ($9.1 million). Task orders span HIV surveillance, health sector reforms, male circumcision services, impact evaluation, capacity development, and monitoring-and-evaluation systems strengthening, with individual orders typically ranging from approximately $114,000 to $1.6 million in obligated value. Combined task-order potential value reached $37.9 million, with $16.1 million obligated (42 percent utilization). Ordering momentum declined sharply after 2012: 10 orders awarded in 2011, 2 in 2012, 5 in 2013, and 2 in 2014. The most recent task order was awarded June 24, 2014, making this vehicle dormant for over a decade.
