The Pandemic Ready Interoperability Modernization Effort And Data Modernization Initiative (PRIME) Master Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) is a multiple-award contract vehicle designed to provide comprehensive technology and data modernization services for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The BPA focuses on delivering lifecycle agile development, human-centered design, and DevSecOps support to facilitate streamlined, high-quality data infrastructure and technology systems. Its primary objective is to enhance the CDC's technological capabilities, with a specific emphasis on pandemic preparedness and data interoperability across various agency initiatives.

The most recent task orders have focused on specific projects like ReportStream, Enterprise Data Exchange customer experience, and episync development, all supporting the CDC's Office of Intergovernmental and External Affairs. The BPA does not utilize specific small business set-aside designations, though several awarded contractors are certified small or disadvantaged businesses. The contract vehicle has a total shared ceiling of $96,436,925 and was established in September 2022, with the last ordering date set for September 22, 2023.
