The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) established this Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to support qualitative research methods focused on understanding critical issues in HIV prevention, care, and treatment in the United States. The contract enables the CDC's National Center for HIV/AIDS, STD, Viral Hepatitis, and TB Prevention to rapidly obtain specialized research services addressing timely questions related to HIV prevention efforts. Services under this vehicle include collecting in-depth qualitative data, summarizing and analyzing existing qualitative research, and developing technical documents and publishable manuscripts that explore barriers, facilitators, and determinants of HIV transmission and disease progression. The contract, valued at $15 million with a five-year period of performance, has predominantly awarded task orders to Research Support Services (RSS), a for-profit research firm. Task orders typically range from approximately $250,000 to $800,000, with performance periods spanning 12-18 months. The delivery orders consistently focus on qualitative research examining HIV prevention, care, and treatment, with specific investigations into barriers experienced by persons living with HIV and healthcare providers. None of the task orders were set aside for specific business categories, indicating open competition. The CDC has used this IDIQ to commission research that supports the Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention's mission of developing evidence-based prevention programs and understanding the epidemiologic landscape of HIV transmission.
