Notice of Intent to Sole Source IACCI educational programs

The CDC intends to award a sole‑source, firm‑fixed‑price contract to Family Health Centers of San Diego, Inc. to expand and maintain tele‑mentoring and webinar educational programs focused on infection‑associated chronic conditions (IACCI) for primary‑care providers, especially those in Federally Qualified Health Centers and other safety‑net settings. The vendor already operates the only U.S. program of this type, has existing curriculum, faculty relationships, and delivery infrastructure, making it the only practical source for continued services. The effort will update outdated materials, broaden reach nationwide, and support CDC’s goal of improving clinical capacity for complex chronic infections. • Scope: Development, updating, and delivery of online webinars, on‑demand short courses, and tele‑mentoring sessions on IACCI. • Target audience: Primary‑care clinicians in FQHCs and other safety‑net health centers across the United States. • Delivery format: Virtual videoconferencing platforms with recorded content for on‑demand access. • Duration: Not specified; contract value is under $350,000 and will likely cover multiple fiscal years of service. • Sole‑source justification: Vendor is the only organization with proven expertise, curriculum, and established relationships; switching would cause duplication, delay, and loss of continuity.
