AI Contract Overview
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention plans to award a sole source firm fixed price contract to Quest Diagnostics for the provision of serum clinical specimens collected from routine patient testing, along with associated remanent services including selection, de-identification, and shipment of these specimens to CDC. These specimens are valued for their unique geographic, sex, and age metadata tied to patients in Georgia, particularly at the zip code level, information not available from any other source. This geographic precision is essential for a serological survey targeting flea-borne typhus, as it allows for accurate spatial analysis and targeted public health intervention. Quest Diagnostics is the only vendor capable of providing this level of location detail, making competition unfeasible under current requirements. This procurement is authorized under FAR 6.103-1 (SAP) and 41 U.S.C. 1901, permitting non-competitive acquisition due to the absence of alternative sources with comparable data capabilities. While not a formal solicitation, the government is inviting any interested parties to submit responses within fifteen days of the notice issuance to assess potential competition, though the decision to proceed without competition rests solely with the government. All responses must be emailed to contract specialist Iris Gonzalez at qsx8@cdc.gov no later than August 6, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. EST. The contract falls under NAICS code 621511, with performance centered in Atlanta, Georgia, and is managed by the CDC Office of Acquisition Services under the Department of Health and Human Services.
