The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12 and the Simplified Acquisition Procedures set forth in FAR Part 13.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention contemplates award to a small business for purchase of gift cards which shall be given out to participants of various studies. The purchase order will be awarded as a blanket purchase agreement, with purchase of gift cards being charged on credit card. The purchase order will be utilized to set purchasing limits, to authorize users to make the calls, and for other contractual agreements. Approximately 10,000 cards are to be purchased over the course of a year, in amounts of $50, $25, $10, and $5; the cards may be VISA, Walmart, Starbucks, etc., depending on the geographical area for each purchase and the stores available. Money should be returned to CDC if the cards are not utilized (if we purchase 600, for example, and only use 590, the amounts funded on the 10 unused cards would be refunded). This procurement is a total small business set-aside.
