The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), has established a Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle for technical support related to epidemiologic and exposure assessment studies. This contract vehicle is designed to provide comprehensive research support, including feasibility studies and the development and maintenance of occupational health surveillance systems. The primary focus is on conducting specialized technical studies that contribute to understanding workplace health, safety, and potential exposure risks across various industries and work environments.

The task orders under this IDIQ demonstrate a diverse range of occupational health research projects, typically valued between $40,000 and $270,000, with performance periods ranging from several months to approximately two years. Prime contractors such as Research Triangle Institute (RTI International) and Westat, Inc. have been awarded multiple task orders, leveraging their multidisciplinary expertise in health, environment, and data analysis. The task orders cover topics including workplace violence prevention, exposure assessment for specific health studies (e.g., birth defects prevention), occupational injury underreporting, healthcare worker safety, and chemical exposure studies. All task orders were awarded without specific set-aside designations, indicating open competition among qualified contractors. The contract vehicle supports NIOSH's mission of researching and preventing work-related injuries, illnesses, and fatalities by providing flexible, expert-level technical support across various occupational health domains.
