NPCR Data Hosting Management (IMS)

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) intends to award a sole source, firm fixed price contract to Information Management Services for NPCR Dataset IT Service. The contract is for the SEER*Stat software, which is used for data evaluation and statistical calculations, including cancer incidence and mortality age-adjusted rates. The software is publicly available, but the mechanism for hosting network-based databases is maintained by IMS only. The CDC requires access to the SEER*Stat network system to allow restricted access by multiple CDC users as well as approved researchers from outside CDC. • The contract is for a sole source procurement • The SEER*Stat software is used for data evaluation and statistical calculations • The software is publicly available, but the hosting mechanism is maintained by IMS only • The CDC requires access to the SEER*Stat network system for restricted user access
