The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, specifically the CDC Office of Acquisition Services, issued solicitation 75D301-21-R-71871 for the collection and testing of National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) sexually transmitted infection data. This requirement focuses on testing for Herpes Simplex Virus Types 1 and 2 in serum to monitor national trends in HIV and other sexually transmitted infections in the United States. The laboratory data produced through this effort is linked to NHANES sexual behavior questions to facilitate a more comprehensive understanding of risk factors and trends.

This project is classified under NAICS 621511 for Medical Laboratories and PSC Q301 for MEDICAL- LABORATORY TESTING. The data collected provides a resource for the evaluation of national HIV/STD risk-reduction efforts and supports risk-based modeling regarding the burden and trends of sexually transmitted infections. This combined synopsis/solicitation has a response deadline of July 20, 2021, and Cynthia Y. Mitchell serves as the primary point of contact.

The solicitation includes three attachments: the original solicitation file, a revised solicitation document, and an amendment effective July 8, 2021. This amendment was issued to update the existing requirement details. All testing and data collection activities are part of an ongoing effort to maintain unique national samples for public health evaluation.
