The Urgent and Emerging Communication Support master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle, awarded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH), and Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), provides comprehensive communication support services for rapid response to environmental health issues. The contract enables the CDC to quickly develop and execute integrated marketing and communication strategies, focusing on technical assistance, public health messaging, and communication campaign development. Services under this vehicle include web development, multimedia production, strategic communication, media relations, audience research, and communication outreach support.

The task orders under this IDIQ predominantly feature woman-owned small businesses like Communicatehealth Inc. and service-disabled veteran-owned businesses like Powell Strategies, with contract values typically ranging from $24,000 to $3.5 million and performance periods spanning approximately 12 months. Most task orders are awarded without specific set-aside designations, though some are designated for small businesses. The contracts consistently support the Department of Health and Human Services and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, with primary performance locations including Northampton, Massachusetts; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; and Cape St. Claire, Maryland. Pricing mechanisms include both firm fixed-price and time and materials contract types, reflecting the flexible nature of the communication support required by the CDC for urgent and emerging environmental health communication needs.
