- Description
- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), headquartered in Atlanta, GA, is an agency of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). CDC is the leading public health agency responsible for promoting health and quality of life by preventing and controlling disease, injury and disability. CDC works with partners throughout the nation and the world to develop and apply disease prevention and control, environmental health, and health promotion and education activities that are designed to improve the health of the people. The CDC Library Science Branch supports and enables the scientific work of the agency. CDC requires library services to support its broad research agenda and its commitment to excellence in science. Credible, timely information is fundamental to improving health research, health care, and quality of life. It is central to responding to public health emergencies, promoting healthy behaviors and disease prevention, and providing informed responses to public health issues. The Stephen B. Thacker CDC Library has been subscribing to an altmetrics product on behalf of all CDC users since 2015. This product allows the library to provide information to CDC scientists and leadership about the social media impact of scientific publications authored by CDC users, as well as being able to follow the social media activity for any article that is being tracked by the altmetrics product, whether or not it is has a CDC author. This information provides valuable feedback to CDC scientists and leaders about who is talking about CDC research in the online media. Types of online media tracked by the current altmetrics product includes Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, selected blogs, diverse news sources, Google+, Wikipedia and a number of other social media products and sources. The altmetrics product provides a search interface for the altmetrics data with many search and filtering options which allow users to explore the data in a number of different ways. The CDC library regularly supplies a list of CDC publications and authors to the vendor which provides CDC users with the ability to search a CDC specific subset of the altmetrics database. This requirement will consist of a continuation of the currently subscribed altmetrics services. It will also include provision for three altmetrics "Publisher Badges" for the three CDC journals - Mortality and Morbidity Weekly Reports (MMWR), Emerging Infectious Diseases (EID) and Preventing Chronic Disease (PCD). The publisher badges provide both the ability to use the altmetrics graphical badge on the publication's website, but also additional services customized for the use of journal publishers. The total period of performance will be 36 months (includes base and 2 options of 12 months each.) This acquisition will be conducted in accordance with FAR Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items in conjunction with FAR Part 13. This solicitation is subject of funds availability during FY 2020. The anticipated award date is Mid October, 2019, after FY 2020 become available. The RFQ and any amendments issued will be posted on www.fedbizopps.gov when issued. No hard copies of the solicitation and amendments will be mailed any questions regarding this notice must be submitted in writing ONLY to Berta Alldredge at boh9@cdc.gov.
