The purpose of this amendment is to make corrections to Attachment J.4, Request for Task Order Proposal, NIS-Flu 2023. National Immunization Survey (NIS) 2022-2028 The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is seeking proposals from responsible sources for the planning and conduct of the National Immunization Survey (NIS) for the 2023-2027 NIS data collection cycle. Background The National Immunization Survey (NIS) portfolio consists of a family of telephone surveys. These surveys include: NIS-Child, NIS-Teen, and NIS-Flu. The NIS also includes additional vaccination-related survey modules, as needed, and evaluation projects to improve efficiency (e.g., integration with immunization information systems [IIS]), quality, and validity of the NIS. The incumbent contract for this requirement is contract no. HHSD200201896379I, awarded to the National Opinion Research Center, 55 East Monroe Street, 30th Floor, Chicago, IL 60603. CDC contemplates awarding a single-award, indefinite-delivery indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract for this requirement. A total of 20-25 task orders are estimated to be issued over the life of this contract. Orders issued under this contract may be firm-fixed-price or cost-plus-fixed-fee, and the ordering period for this contract will be September 1, 2022, through December 31, 2028. The Government shall place orders totaling a minimum of $10,000 over the life of the contract. The maximum amount of all orders placed under this contract shall not exceed $310 million. The place of performance will be the vendor’s site(s). The objective of the NIS is to produce annual estimates of the proportion of noninstitutionalized children 19 through 35 months and 13 through 17 years receiving vaccinations recommended by the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices (ACIP), in each of the nonoverlapping Local Sampling Areas (LSAs). It is also intended to describe sociodemographic disparities in vaccination coverage, factors that influence the vaccination status of children, the uptake of newly recommended vaccines, and how information about immunization is understood by the public. The objective for other related activities is to: assess influenza vaccination utilization and related information during annual influenza seasons; assess additional vaccination-related information regarding children or adults of any age in response to emerging program needs; and improve efficiency, quality and validity of NIS.
