About this vehicle
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Pittsburgh awarded this Master IDIQ for safety and healthcare epidemiology prevention research and development on September 23, 2016, with a shared ceiling of $200 million, but ordering closed on September 30, 2021—the vehicle is no longer available for new task orders. This vehicle succeeded a predecessor IDIQ awarded in 2011 under the same program name.
The vehicle is inactive. The last task order was placed on September 30, 2021, roughly 4 years and 9 months ago. Combined obligated value across all 39 task orders reached $67.4 million, representing 99 percent of the combined potential value of $68 million. Ordering activity peaked in 2021 with 10 orders placed, sustained at 6–7 orders annually in prior years. No successor IDIQ has been identified in the source material.
Task orders procured scientific research and development services covering vaccine effectiveness studies (particularly influenza and SARS-CoV-2), surveillance and sentinel systems, opioid epidemiology in states with hepatitis B outbreaks, infection prevention interventions, and antimicrobial stewardship. Work spanned NAICS codes covering scientific research services, veterinary services, educational institutions, and healthcare delivery organizations. All 39 task orders were unrestricted (no set-aside). Firm fixed price was the universal pricing structure.
The CDC Pittsburgh was the sole customer—all $68 million in obligated value funded internal CDC program requirements. Among prime contractors, the portfolio was moderately fragmented across 18 distinct awardees. Vanderbilt University Medical Center led by potential value with $14.2 million across two orders; Brown University and The Johns Hopkins University followed with $8.7 million and $8.3 million respectively. These three institutions held roughly 67 percent of combined potential value. The Johns Hopkins University held the largest order count at five awards. The remaining awardees—including the Washington University, Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, University of Maryland Baltimore, and University of Utah—split the remainder, reflecting a typical CDC epidemiology research vendor base anchored by academic medical centers and health services research organizations.
Task-order values ranged from $82,000 to $13.46 million. Performance periods aligned with epidemiological research cycles, typically 1–3 years. The largest single order—$13.46 million to an unnamed awardee for an adult inpatient and outpatient vaccine effectiveness case control study—was obligated in February 2021.
