GRASP GIS ATSDR and EOC GENERAL SUPPORT (Non-Set-Aside IDIQ)

C.1 Background and Need GRASP, the Geospatial Research, Analysis, and Services Program (Division of Toxicology and Human Health Sciences (DTHHS), ATSDR) is a program that provides ongoing GIS (geographic information system) science, analysis, technology and visualization (“geospatial SATV”) support to ATSDR, NCEH, OPHPR, and multiple other CIOs across CDC/ATSDR. The mission of GRASP is to provide leadership and expertise in the application of the concepts, methods, and tools of geography and geospatial information science to public health investigation and practice across CDC/ATSDR and among the public health community. GRASP objectives are to (1) acquire, manage, and prepare geospatial data for use by GRASP and GRASP partners; (2) analyze and examine the geospatial trends and patterns relevant to diverse factors associated with environmental health, infectious and chronic disease, and emergency preparedness & response; (3) geospatially enable CDC/ATSDR scientists and systems with data, consulting, technology, and training; (4) collaborate with scientists and researchers at the CDC/ATSDR and among our public health partners to address diverse public health issues; (5) contribute to a vibrant geospatial community among public health professionals; and (6) embrace, leverage and promote technology.

Core programmatic responsibilities of GRASP are to provide GIS science, analysis, technology and visualization products and services to support (1) ATSDR environmental exposure assessments, surveillance, and registries, (2) CDC Emergency Operations Center (EOC) public health emergency preparation, preparedness, response and recovery activities, and (3) GRASP GIS geospatial indexes and indicators.

GRASP GIS science, analysis, technology and visualization products and services support all ATSDR and ATSDR partner’s efforts, initiatives, and/or products including, but not limited to, public health assessments, exposure investigations, dose reconstruction analyses, community outreach efforts, disease registries, and surveillance activities. GRASP efforts in these areas (1) advance ATSDR’s understanding of exposure pathways and associated exposed populations, (2) clarify and/or quantify the spatial and temporal linkages between exposure and disease, (3) enable focused and effective communication with affected communities, (4) prepare, validate, and/or process spatially-referenced datasets supporting all efforts, and (5) provide static and/or interactive maps, displays, and other tools.

GRASP GIS science, analysis, technology and visualization products and services support all CDC Emergency Operations Center (EOC) efforts to (1) prepare for public health emergencies, (2) respond to public health emergencies, and (3) foster the recovery of populations that have been impacted by public health emergencies. GRASP efforts in support of the EOC enable EOC decision makers and other response partners to (1) understand complex conditions associated with public health emergencies, (2) clarify and/or quantify the impacts of natural disasters, anthropogenic catastrophes, and disease outbreaks, and (3) communicate plans, protocols, or approaches associated with CDC responses to public health emergencies.

GRASP GIS science, analysis, technology and visualization products and services support GRASP efforts to develop, maintain, share and validate multiple national geospatial index databases. GRASP geospatial indexes are essentially complex databases, which integrate data derived from national, state, and local sources to inform understanding of public health trends & patterns, enable utilization of complex public health datasets, foster the development of hypotheses, and support complex decision-making at all levels.

C.2 Project Objective The objective of this Task Order is to acquire consultation and technical assistance to support GRASP to provide GIS science, analysis, technology and visualization products and services to support (1) ATSDR environmental exposure assessments, surveillance, and registries, (2) CDC Emergency Operations Center (EOC) public health emergency preparation, preparedness, response and recovery activities, and (3) GRASP GIS geospatial indexes and indicators. To accomplish the objectives of this Task Order, the contractor must provide consultation, assistance, guidance, and support. The expertise required will include geospatial science, technology, and visualization, computer science, application development and data management, epidemiology, geospatial statistics, environmental science and modelling, and project coordination.

C.3 Scope of Work The Contractor, as an independent organization and not an agent of the Government shall furnish all labor, travel, and other costs associated with the provision of on-site Contract staff to support the activities and provide the deliverables specified within the Task Order Technical Requirements.
