How to bid on Daily-Updated, Longitudinal, Patient-Level Electronic Health Record Data for CDC
What the CDC is buying and why it matters
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is looking to acquire daily-updated, longitudinal, patient-level electronic health record data. This will be secured through a single firm-fixed-price contract. This type of data is crucial for public health analysis and research, making it a significant opportunity for data providers.
The government intends to award this as a sole-source contract to Truveta, Inc. However, the CDC will consider capability statements and proposals from other responsible sources to determine if another firm can meet their minimum requirements. This means there is an opportunity for other businesses to demonstrate their ability to provide this specialized data.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This Request for Proposal (RFP) was issued on July 28, 2026. If you have questions, they must be submitted by August 4, 2026, at 3:00 PM ET. Capability statements from interested parties are due by August 4, 2026, at 3:00 PM ET.
Full proposals from offerors are due by August 13, 2026, at 3:00 PM ET. All submissions, including questions, capability statements, and proposals, must be sent electronically to the Contracting Officer. Telephone inquiries will not be accepted.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is best suited for businesses specializing in data processing, hosting, and related services, particularly those with expertise in electronic health record data. The associated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 518210, with a size standard of $40 million. Firms that can provide daily-updated, longitudinal, patient-level electronic health record data should consider responding.
While Truveta, Inc. is the intended sole-source provider, the CDC is open to considering other firms. This means businesses that can clearly demonstrate their ability to meet all the government's minimum requirements, as outlined in the Statement of Work, should submit a capability statement and proposal.

Tips for a competitive response
Even though this is an intended sole-source award, a well-prepared capability statement and proposal can still be effective. Clearly demonstrate how your firm satisfies each of the government's minimum requirements identified in the Statement of Work. Do not assume the agency knows your capabilities; explicitly state how you meet each point.
Pay close attention to the deadlines and submission instructions. Late submissions will not be considered. Ensure your electronic submission is correctly formatted and sent to the specified email address. Focus on providing concrete evidence and examples of your ability to provide daily-updated, longitudinal, patient-level electronic health record data.
