Technical and Management Support for Health Promotion Activities

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Pittsburgh, operating under the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), awarded a Master IDIQ for scientific, technical, and management expertise supporting research, demonstration projects, planning, large-scale evaluation studies, and program assessments on September 30, 2014. Ordering closed on September 29, 2019, and the vehicle is no longer active.

The Master IDIQ has been fully executed. Of the $61 million shared ceiling, task orders obligated $26.7 million (44% of the combined task-order potential value of $89 million). The vehicle awarded 38 task orders over five years, with peak activity in 2016 and 2017 (13 and 11 orders respectively) and declining orders in 2018 (4 orders). The most recent task order closed in September 2018, making this vehicle dormant for over seven years.

Work contracted under the vehicle centers on chronic disease prevention and health equity. Representative task orders evaluated pharmacy strategies for heart disease and stroke prevention, assessed diabetes intervention programs, examined hypertension control through health equity interventions, analyzed colorectal cancer control program costs, evaluated tobacco education campaigns, and studied cancer survivorship and screening. A small number of orders addressed capacity-building in maternal health and community health worker integration.

ABT Global LLC dominates by potential value, holding 5 orders worth $66.3 million combined—roughly 74% of all potential value under the vehicle. Research Triangle Institute follows with 12 orders valued at $12.9 million, National Opinion Research Center holds 6 orders at $5.6 million, and Westat, Inc. holds 8 orders at $3.2 million. The top five contractors account for 97% of task-order count and 100% of combined potential value. Nearly all work (37 of 38 orders) carried no set-aside designation; one order designated Partial Small Business with a $10,000 minimum guarantee. All ordering agencies were CDC Pittsburgh (37 orders, $88.9 million combined potential value) and CDC Office of Acquisition Services (1 order, $155 thousand).

Task-order values ranged from $10,000 to $61.3 million. Most orders fell between $150,000 and $2.3 million, with pricing split between firm fixed price and cost-plus-fixed-fee structures. The largest single order, for systematic screening and assessment supporting heart disease and stroke prevention, carried a ceiling value of $61.3 million but was obligated at only $246,696.

The National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP) has awarded a Master IDIQ for scientific, technical, and management expertise, and related services involving research and demonstration projects, planning, large-scale evaluation studies, program assessments, development, and support in the execution of CDC's missions and activities.
