NEISS On-Site Data Quality Evaluation

The National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) On-Site Data Quality Evaluation Master IDIQ contract, awarded by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), focuses on conducting comprehensive site visits to U.S. hospitals to evaluate and improve the quality of injury data collection. The contract requires contractors to perform detailed assessments of emergency department data collection processes, including orientation, training, and extensive reviews of coding practices related to product-related injuries. Contractors are tasked with meeting emergency department staff, providing public relations support, demonstrating known product hazards, and reviewing record flow and routing of medical charts to ensure accurate injury documentation.

The IDIQ has been primarily awarded to three prime contractors: Cam Business Consulting Corp, Brandi Sommer (a woman-owned small business), and Raymond Colucci, who have been consistently winning delivery orders ranging from approximately $17,000 to $55,000 annually. Task orders typically have a one-year performance period, with ultimate completion dates consistently set to September 27th of each contract year. No set-aside designations have been used in the task order awards, and performance locations are primarily centered in Bethesda, Maryland. The contractors must demonstrate extensive NEISS coding experience, with requirements including a historical error rate below 6%, an average data lag of 7 days or less, and a reporting rate of 93% or higher. The contract supports the CPSC's mission of ensuring product safety by maintaining high-quality injury surveillance data collection methodologies.
