The Safety and Healthcare Epidemiology Prevention Research Development 2016 (SHEPheRD 2016) is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle focused on supporting scientific research and development services in public health, epidemiology, and healthcare-related domains. The contract vehicle enables the CDC to rapidly task multiple prime contractors with executing critical research initiatives, particularly those related to disease prevention, vaccine effectiveness, immunization safety, and emerging public health challenges. The IDIQ supports a wide range of scientific and technical services, with an overall shared ceiling of $200 million and an award date of September 23, 2016.

Task orders under this contract vehicle predominantly involve universities and research institutions conducting specialized epidemiological and healthcare research, with most deliveries being firm fixed-price contracts. Typical task order values range from approximately $80,000 to $13.5 million, with performance periods generally spanning one to three years. Frequent prime contractors include the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, Johns Hopkins University, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Duke University, and the University of Utah. The task orders frequently focus on domains such as vaccine effectiveness, COVID-19 modeling, immunization safety assessments, healthcare-associated infections, and emerging pathogen research. All task orders observed were awarded by the CDC's Pittsburgh office, with no specific small business or socioeconomic set-aside designations utilized, and performance locations primarily centered around university research campuses across the United States.
