The Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD) Project is a comprehensive federal contract vehicle managed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to facilitate critical vaccine safety monitoring and research. This master indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract enables the CDC to rapidly assess potential vaccine safety signals, conduct epidemiological studies, and evaluate post-licensure vaccine safety through collaboration with integrated healthcare organizations. The contract supports infrastructure activities, active surveillance, monitoring efforts, and comprehensive epidemiologic studies and evaluations related to vaccine safety across multiple healthcare systems.

The contract vehicle predominantly awards task orders to large healthcare providers and research organizations, with Kaiser Permanente, Marshfield Clinic, HealthPartners Institute, and Harvard Pilgrim Health Care being frequent prime contractors. Task orders typically range from $100,000 to $19,350,000, with performance periods spanning 3-5 years, and are consistently awarded on cost-no-fee or firm fixed-price pricing structures. These orders are uniformly not set aside for small businesses and are concentrated in locations where these healthcare organizations operate, including California, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Massachusetts. The task orders cover diverse research objectives such as vaccine safety monitoring, assessments of specific vaccine effects, infrastructure development, and specialized studies on vaccination outcomes among various population groups, with a particular focus on emerging public health concerns like COVID-19 vaccine safety.
