JA_Geisinger Final 14 May 2024.pdf

This document is a Special Notice from the Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) regarding their intent to award a sole source firm fixed price purchase order to Geisinger Clinic for the Surveillance Based Lyme Disease Network.

The CDC intends to award a follow-on contract to Geisinger Clinic (the incumbent) to continue providing services to develop, finalize, and implement Electronic Health Record (EHR) algorithms to estimate Lyme Disease (LD) incidence and LD outcomes, as well as monitor LD epidemiology trends. The CDC has determined that Geisinger Clinic is the only responsible source that can satisfy the agency's requirements, as the significant start-up efforts, experience, and knowledge sharing required for all network participants have already been established under the current contract. The CDC will not compete this proposed contract and is solely within their discretion. Interested parties may submit responses by 12:00 PM EST on 29 May 2024 to the contract specialist for consideration, but this is not a request for competitive quotes.
