National Electronic Disease Surveillance System Evaluation of Hosting Consultant Service

The Association of State and Territorial Health Officials is seeking a consultant or consultant team to evaluate the feasibility, limitations, implications, and approaches of hosting cloud-native National Electronic Disease Surveillance System Base System version seven on premises at a jurisdiction. This disease surveillance system supports the public health case investigation workflow from start to finish, receives electronic laboratory and case reports, and generates notifications and reports to help limit the spread of disease. Because several jurisdictions are navigating barriers related to cloud hosting, the agency requires information about on-premises or hybrid options that these jurisdictions can leverage. The selected consultant must document the key considerations, risks, costs, and level of effort required for on-premises or hybrid hosting of the system. The scope of work also requires evaluating the ongoing maintenance needs for on-premises and hybrid environments to inform jurisdictions about their potential in-house resource needs. The agency requires all performance of the work to take place offsite. Eligibility is restricted to onshore organizations based in the United States. The agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is looking for proposals to define the cost. The source document does not contain evaluation criteria or key dates for this opportunity.
