[Name of contractor] understands that in order to fulfill the responsibilities pursuant to [contract name and number] between the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and [Name of CDC contractor] dated [date], employees of [contractor] will have access to non-public information, including confidential and privileged information contained in government-owned information technology systems.

For purposes of this agreement, confidential information means government information that is not or will not be generally available to the public. Privileged information means information which cannot be disclosed without the prior written consent of the CDC.

In order to properly safeguard non-public information, [contractor] agrees to ensure that prior to being granted access to government information or the commencement of work for the CDC, whichever is applicable, all contractor employees will sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) provided by the CDC prior to beginning work for the CDC. Contractor agrees to submit to the Contracting Officer the original signed copies of NDAs signed by the contractor’s employees in accordance with the instructions provided by the Contracting Officer. Failure to provide signed NDAs in accordance with this agreement and instructions provided by the Contracting Officer could delay or prevent the employee from commencing or continuing work at the CDC until such agreement is signed and returned to the Contracting Officer.

Contractor further agrees that it will not cause or encourage any employee to disclose, publish, divulge, release, or make known in any manner or to any extent, to any individual other than an authorized Government employee any non-public information that the employee may obtain in connection with the performance of the employee’s responsibilities to the CDC.

II. Procurement-Sensitive Information

Contractor further agrees that it will not cause or encourage any employee to disclose, publish, divulge, release, or make known in any manner or to any extent, to any individual, other than an authorized Government employee, any procurement-sensitive information gained while in connection with fulfilling the employee’s responsibilities at the CDC. For purposes of this agreement, procurement-sensitive information includes, but is not limited to, all information in Statements of Work (SOW), Procurement Requests (PR), and Requests for Proposal (RFP); Responses to RFPs, including proposals, questions from potential offerors; non-public information regarding procurements; all documents, conversations, discussions, data, correspondence, electronic mail (e-mail), presentations, or any other written or verbal communications relating to, concerning, or affecting proposed or pending solicitations or awards;

procurement data; contract information plans; strategies; source selection information and documentation;

offerors’ identities; technical and cost data; the identity of government personnel involved in the solicitation; the schedule of key technical and procurement events in the award determination process;

and any other information that may provide an unfair competitive advantage to a contractor or potential contractor if improperly disclosed to them, or any of their employees.

Contractor understands and agrees that employee access to any procurement-sensitive information may create a conflict of interest which will preclude contractor from becoming a competitor for any acquisition(s) resulting from this information. Therefore, if an employee participates in any discussions relating to procurement-sensitive information, assists in developing any procurement-sensitive information, or otherwise obtains any procurement-sensitive information while performing duties at the CDC, contractor understands and agrees that contractor may be excluded from competing for any acquisition(s) resulting from this information.

III. Identification of Non-Government Employees

Contractor understands that its employees are not agents of the Government. Therefore, unless otherwise directed in writing by the CDC, contractor agrees to assist and monitor employee compliance with the following identification procedures:

Clauses

Health Information Technology (Jun 2020)

Executive Order 13410: Promoting Quality and Efficient Health Care in Federal Government Administered or Sponsored Health Care Programs promotes efficient delivery of quality health care through the use of health information technology, transparency regarding health care quality and price, and incentives to promote the widespread adoption of health information technology and quality of care. To support this objective the awardee shall adhere to the following interoperability standards and requirements. For purposes of the information described herein, interoperability is defined as the ability of two or more systems or components to exchange information and to use the information that has been exchanged.

Interoperability of Health Information Technology This section applies to contracts that involve the exchange of public health data between public health entities, CDC, and other federal agencies. This supports the development and use of interoperable information systems for public health functions such as biosurveillance, situational awareness, laboratory science, or environmental health.

• In addition to complying with HHS Standards for Security Configurations, HHS Standards for Encryption Language, and Federal Laws, Regulations and Standards related to IT Security, the awardee is required to meet recognized interoperability standards as follows:

• The awardee shall use nationally adopted Public Health Information Network (PHIN) standards at the time of the system implementation, acquisition, or upgrade, in all relevant information technology systems supported, in whole or in part, through this contract. Where no PHIN standards exist, the awardee shall utilize recognized standards established by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) as described in their Nationwide Health Information Network (NwHIN) standards.

• The awardee shall use PHIN policies, standards, practices, and services in the research and implementation of efficient and effective public health information systems, to facilitate interoperability (the ability of two or more systems or components to exchange information and to use the information that has been exchanged) with public health organizations and networks, including NwHIN.

• Where the awardee supports or participates in health information or data exchange with disparate entities, the awardee must have an architecture that is compatible with the architecture of PHIN, where appropriate. If PHIN standards do not exist, the awardee shall refer to NwHIN standards.

Public Health Data within Clinical Healthcare This section applies to contracts that involve the exchange of public health data within the clinical setting, such as hospitals and providers. This supports the exchange of public health information, including laboratory exchange data, between public health entities and healthcare systems.

• The awardee shall use health IT investments, such as electronic health records (EHRs), personalized health records, and network components through which they operate and share information, that are certified by a recognized certification board and/or validated and tested with PHIN or NwHIN certification to ensure a minimum level of interoperability or compatibility of health IT products.

• The awardee may use services available from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) at www.healthit.ahrq.gov. This link provides technical assistance, identifies challenges to health IT adoption and use, and identifies solutions and best practices that have the potential to transform clinical practice through the best and most effective use of IT.

• Where feasible, the awardee shall collaborate with other healthcare entities, local quality improvement organizations, and/or local medical societies to promote the adoption of certified EHRs in clinical provider settings.

• Where feasible, the awardee…
