The goal of the Request for Proposal (RFP) is to improve the efficiency and accuracy of laboratory testing, and the situational awareness provided by use of laboratory data during public health emergencies.
The CDC will sign three to five contracts with organizations to develop and validate pathogen tests, report results, and analyze the efficacy and gaps of the processes involved. The minimum amount for a single contractual agreement is $10,000. The total budget for the contracts supported by the project is $148,000,000. Responses are due December 2, 2024.
