Microbiology and Analytical Chemistry Support Program

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is forecasting a contract for comprehensive analytical chemistry services to support exposure assessment and evaluate the effectiveness of engineering controls through the analysis of samples collected both in the field and in laboratory settings. The work will involve microbiological and chemical analyses critical to understanding environmental and occupational exposures, providing data essential for public health decision-making. This contract will be awarded under NAICS code 541380, which covers analytical services in the scientific and technical consulting sector, and is intended to support the CDC’s mission in environmental health and safety. Services will be performed as needed in response to ongoing program activities, with no specific place of performance identified, indicating flexibility in where samples are analyzed or where staff may be deployed. The point of contact for program-related inquiries is Jennifer Roberts, reachable at cgu8@cdc.gov, while the contracting officer position remains to be filled. The opportunity was posted on May 25, 2026, and is currently in the forecast stage, meaning it is not yet open for bid but provides early visibility for potential vendors to prepare proposals. There is no set-aside designation specified, suggesting the contract is open to all eligible businesses.
