AI Contract Overview

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) plan to award a sole source purchase order valued at $75,000 to the Nofer Institute of Occupational Medicine (NIOM) in Poland for a pilot implementation of the Hazardous Substances Emergency Events Surveillance System (HSEES). This pilot project aims to monitor hazardous substance emergencies in Poland by analyzing their spatial and temporal distribution, assessing morbidity and mortality among employees, responders, and the general public, identifying associated risk factors, and developing strategies to mitigate health impacts. NIOM, a governmental institute under Poland’s Ministry of Health responsible for environmental and occupational health, has been designated the lead agency for this project by the Polish Government, which mandates the involvement of the appropriate governmental body for legal and operational approval of such surveillance activities. This sole source procurement will follow Federal Acquisition Regulation guidelines, with a 15-day period for interested parties to submit documentation to CDC for consideration, although final decision-making on competition is at the government's discretion. NIOM’s established expertise in epidemiologic and toxicologic research, as well as its role in developing preventive interventions, positions it as the appropriate and authorized partner for this international collaboration. The project represents a coordinated effort to extend the capabilities of the HSEES system beyond the United States, contributing to improved hazardous substance emergency response and prevention measures in Poland. The point of contact for this procurement is the CDC Contract Specialists Ronnie E Francis and Sherry A Smallwood.
