About this vehicle
The National Institutes of Health awarded this Master IDIQ on September 21, 2012, to support the National Children's Study Vanguard Study, with ordering authority that closed on September 25, 2017—meaning no new task orders may be placed against the vehicle. The IDIQ funded data collection, participant retention, study visit development and assessment, and formative research across four regional operations centers (East, West, Central, and South ROC).
Ordering ended over eight years ago, placing this vehicle firmly outside the active pursuit window. The most recent task order award occurred on December 30, 2013, with 33 total orders issued between September 2012 and December 2013. Combined potential value across all task orders was $105.1 million, of which $72.7 million (69%) has been obligated.
Three prime contractors shared the work: National Opinion Research Center led by order count with 16 awards totaling $43 million in potential value, followed by Northwestern University with 8 awards worth $33.1 million and Westat, Inc., with 9 awards worth $29 million. The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) funded 32 of 33 orders valued at $102.7 million combined potential, with a single order of $2.4 million from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases.
All 33 task orders were competed unrestricted—no set-aside designations were applied. Awarded orders ranged from $1 (placeholder orders) to roughly $7.3 million (data collection and retention tasks), with most substantial orders pricing under Cost Plus Fixed Fee or Cost No Fee structures. Regional operations centers executed work across the continental United States, organized by geography rather than a single administrative site.
Description
The goal of the National Children's Study is to improve the health and well-being of children by contributing to understanding the influence of multiple factors, both negative and mitigating, on health and disease. This Master IDIQ implements the next phase of the NCS Vanguard Study with a focus on the activities of data collection and evaluation, participant retention, study visit development and assessment, and formative research on methods to address specific questions or needs.
