The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention intends to award a sole source firm fixed price purchase order to Getty Images. Due to Getty’s capacity and it’s recent acquisitions of all other major stock image repositories, Getty is the only vendor that provides both unlimited downloads (which enables us to service client requests without extensive prohibitions) and a photo and image database with the breadth and depth necessary for service to CDC. Getty has an archive of 80 million images and 50,000 stock films. It provides historic, scientific, editorial, and creative graphics that allows DCS to provide visual communication beyond our physical capacity to travel, document, and create.
