ESSENCE is a web-based syndromic surveillance system designed for the early detection of disease outbreaks, suspicious patterns of illness, and public health emergencies. ESSENCE collects, processes, and analyzes non-traditional data sources (i.e. chief complaints from hospital emergency departments, poison control center calls, over-the-counter pharmaceutical sales, etc.) to identify anomalous disease activity in a community. The data can be queried, analyzed, and visualized both temporally and spatially by the end user. To the best of our knowledge JHU/APL is the sole developer of the ESSENCE software and is the only one who can provide operational maintenance, support, and enhancements to the ESSENCE system per their license agreement.� However, any responsible source who wishes to be considered may submit a quote addressing the requirements of the request for quotes (RFQ) when issued.� The RFQ and any amendments to the it will be posted on https://beta.sam.gov/ . 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.�
