About this opportunity
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Office of Acquisition Services issued a sole source justification for contract 75D30125C20702 awarded to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute's Department of Biomedical Engineering to conduct statistical analysis and research investigating the association between vaccinations and autism prevalence. The acquisition was justified under FAR 6.302-1 (only one responsible source) because the contractor possesses unique capabilities and exclusive access to statistical analysis of distinct cohorts consisting of children and mothers with complete medical information, as well as the ability to link child subjects from previous studies to their maternal records to examine vaccination-related risk factors. The research requirement originated from an unsolicited proposal highlighting unique data collection opportunities using already-developed child and child-mother cohorts, and a notice of intent to sole source was posted on SAM.gov with no capable contractors responding to demonstrate alternative capability. The contract performance period extends from September 30, 2025 to September 29, 2026, with the estimated contract value redacted in the publicly available documentation. The contracting officer and program manager certified that fair and reasonable pricing will be determined through cost and pricing data analysis with comparison to an independent government cost estimate.
