The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) in Atlanta, Georgia, intends to negotiate a sole source contract with University of Washington (UW) Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) under the authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 6.302-1, Other Than Full and Open Competition procedures, and 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1). The contract will fulfill a CDC/NCIPC requirement for contractor services to develop an innovative approach to improve non-medical cost estimates related to injury and morbidity. Specifically, contractor support is required to develop an analytic (mapping) tool to crosswalk GlobalBurden of Disease (GBD) nonfatal injury disability weights to National Electronic Injury Surveillance System – All Injury Program (NEISS-AIP) records in spreadsheet format to include: NEISS-AIP injury type; GBD disability weight; and calculation notes as applicable for replication-level explanation starting from publicly available data sources. Successful completion of this project requires a contractor with 1) a minimum of five years’ applicable experience generating and publishing in publicly accessible format (e.g., data query website) original quality of life index values by injury type based on original surveys of general population respondents, where the underlying methodology is published in a peer-reviewed format and there are ongoing occasional updates of underlying survey data; and 2) a PhD or other advanced degree with equivalent work experience in advanced analytics related to health economics or closely related field. CDC/NCIPC has not identified any sources capable of fulfilling this requirement other than UW - IHME. This is a notice of intent and is not a request for competitive quotes or proposals. No solicitation is available.
