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 7 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 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 these environments to inform jurisdictions regarding their in-house resource needs. All performance of the work will occur 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 determine the cost. The source document does not specify evaluation criteria or key dates for this opportunity.
