Limited Source J & A- A national survey of U.S. workers to investigate COVID-19 vaccine attitudes and intention to vaccinate

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through its National Center for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), intends to award a sole source contract to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) for acquiring clean data files, code books, metadata, and reports related to three waves of the UCLA COVID-19 Health Project survey. This survey, executed with the assistance of Lucid, a market research platform specializing in rapid, large-scale nationwide surveys, aims to collect representative data on COVID-19 vaccine attitudes and intentions among U.S. workers. Given the rapidly evolving nature of the COVID-19 outbreak, the contract is prioritized for swift procurement to support timely containment and recovery efforts. This acquisition falls under the NAICS code 611310, which pertains to colleges, universities, and professional schools, and is managed by the CDC Office of Acquisition Services within the Department of Health and Human Services. The place of performance is in Los Angeles, California, at UCLA’s facilities. The limited source justification highlights the unique, established capabilities of UCLA and Lucid for rapid, accurate data collection in response to the urgent public health crisis. Stephanie Reid serves as the point of contact for this procurement, which was publicly posted in March 2021.
