CDC awarded contract no. 75D30121C12653 to Gainwell Technologies LLC (“Gainwell”), 355 Ledgelawn Dr, Conway, AR, 72034-9501 on September 14, 2021, in the amount of $2,015,063.79. This notices makes available a justification and approval for other than full and open competition (JOFOC) that applies to this contract. This contract was awarded under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The purpose of this contract is to procure information technology services from Gainwell for Gainwell to operate and maintain the system changes made to the immunization information systems (IIS) for the following jurisdictions to enable connectivity to the Immunization Gateway and submission (external to the Immunization Gateway) of COVID-19 vaccine administration data to CDC. California Georgia Hawaii Idaho Iowa Maine Maryland Minnesota Nebraska New York State North Carolina Oregon Virginia Wisconsin The scope of this contract also includes the enhancement of the IIS for these jurisdictions to support reporting (external to the Immunization Gateway) routine vaccination data to CDC and automating the reporting (external to the Immunization Gateway) of COVID-19 vaccination data to CDC. Additionally, the scope of work involves enhancing these IIS to connect to new Immunization Gateway functionality including, but not limited to, the multi-jurisdictional query function and data submission to CDC via the Immunization Gateway. Gainwell was determined to be the only responsible source because Gainwell currently provides operations and maintenance support for the IIS of these jurisdictions. It would be disruptive and inefficient to have two IIS vendors or system integrators providing the same type of operations, maintenance and enhancement services to a single IIS. To use two vendors would cause a duplication of costs and would violate software development best practices. Therefore the software and system changes contemplated in this requirement can only be performed by the vendor currently providing operations and maintenance support to a particular IIS. The attached JOFOC is being made available within 14 days of the contract award in accordance with FAR 6.305(a) and will remain active for 30 days in accordance with FAR 6.305(d)(3).
