Summary
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), under the Department of Health and Human Services, has issued an Other Transaction Authority (OTA) Sources Sought Notice (CDC-OTA-SSN-26-0001) seeking qualified industry partners to modernize and renew the long-term asbestos-related disease (ARD) screening and outreach strategy for the community of Libby, Montana. The program is structured around three components: (1) annual health screenings and community outreach for conditions such as pleural plaque, asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma; (2) technological innovation including new diagnostic tools, digital health platforms, and data-sharing technologies; and (3) strategic research and legacy planning that uses demographic and exposure data to forecast future screening needs and sustain local healthcare infrastructure. This is a Special Notice (market research vehicle), not a grant, issued by CDC's Office of Acquisition Services (NAICS 621511 – Medical Laboratories).
