About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has awarded a sole-source contract to XWell, Inc. for Ebola entry screening surge support services on an urgent basis, with an estimated value of $43.6 million.

The justification cites FAR 6.302-2, Unusual and Compelling Urgency, based on the ongoing Ebola Bundibugyo outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda. As of May 25, 2026, the DRC and Uganda reported 906 suspected cases and 105 confirmed cases, with geographic expansion into Sud-Kivu Province. CDC, DHS, and other federal agencies implemented enhanced screening and traveler monitoring at designated U.S. ports of entry. Full and open competition would result in unacceptable delays in obtaining trained, medically cleared, fit-tested personnel with specialized public health emergency expertise and airport operational access.

The contractor will provide Public Health Program Support Specialists, Data Scientists, Health Scientists, and licensed medical professionals to conduct public health risk assessments, traveler engagement, surveillance, epidemiologic analysis, emergency response coordination, data collection and management within the Quarantine Activity Reporting System, infectious disease consultation services, airport badging and security processing, PPE implementation, respirator fit testing, and emergency staffing coordination with personnel required to report onsite within 45 minutes during emergency activations. Market research identified XWell as the only vendor currently budgeted and bonded at multiple FIS screening locations with immediate operational advantage for rapid deployment.

The period of performance is six months with a six-month option period. Pricing is Time & Materials. XWell is located at 254 W. 31st St., 11th Floor, New York, NY 10001. Contract 75D30126C21193 was awarded July 6, 2026.

Notice text

RFO FAR 6.103-2.  This sole source acquisition is justified based on unusual and compelling urgency associated with the ongoing Ebola Bundibugyo disease outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Uganda and the immediate need to sustain CDC Division of Global Migration Health (DGMH) emergency response operations. As of May 25, the DRC and Uganda Ministries of Health reported 906 suspected cases, 105 confirmed cases, 223 suspected deaths, and 10 confirmed deaths in DRC, as well as 7 confirmed cases and 1 confirmed death in Uganda, with the outbreak expanding geographically into Sud-Kivu Province. In response, CDC, DHS, and other federal agencies implemented enhanced public health screening and traveler monitoring measures at designated U.S. ports of entry to mitigate the risk of Ebola importation into the United States. The contractor support required under this action is essential to immediately provide Public Health Program Support Specialists, Data Scientists, Health Scientists, and licensed medical professionals to conduct public health risk assessments, traveler engagement, surveillance, epidemiologic analysis, emergency response coordination, data collection and data management within the Quarantine Activity Reporting System (QARS), and infectious disease consultation services supporting DGMH Port Health operations and the Global Migration Task Force. 

Awarded contract 75D30126C21193 to unknown vendor for unknown amount on 2026-07-06.
