About this vehicle
CDC Pittsburgh established this multiple-award IDIQ on September 20, 2022, to procure vaccine safety monitoring, surveillance, and epidemiological research services through task orders. The vehicle carries a $149 million shared ceiling and remains available for ordering through February 19, 2027, leaving approximately seven months of ordering authority. All 19 awarded task orders are unrestricted (no set-aside used).
The vehicle funds three technical areas: VSD project infrastructure activities, active surveillance and monitoring, and epidemiological studies and evaluations. Recent orders address vaccine safety in special populations, surveillance of newly licensed and existing vaccines, data quality assurance, and ad-hoc analyses of vaccine safety signals. Task orders are priced across cost-no-fee, cost-plus-fixed-fee, and firm-fixed-price arrangements, with durations ranging from under one year to multi-year performance periods extending into 2028 and 2029.
Kaiser Foundation Hospitals dominates the vehicle, holding 8 of 19 awards totaling $76.8 million in combined potential value, or approximately 76% of all task-order value. The next four primes—Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, Acumen LLC, Marshfield Clinic, and HealthPartners Institute—collectively hold the remaining potential value, with limited awards concentrated among health system and medical research organizations. The customer base is singular: all 19 orders fund CDC Pittsburgh's Immunization Safety Office operations.
Combined potential value across awarded task orders stands at $101.7 million, with $85.9 million obligated (84% of potential). Ordering activity has declined since the vehicle's inception: 11 task orders awarded in 2022, 7 in 2023, and only 1 in 2025. Remaining unobligated potential value on the shared ceiling totals approximately $47.3 million, though the low recent ordering rate and imminent February 2027 expiration suggest limited additional volume will be placed.
