Telephone Data Collection Services

The Mississippi government authority is seeking a vendor to provide telephone data collection services for the Behavioural Risk Factor Surveillance System and the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System. The authority needs to collect health-related data from non-institutionalized adults aged eighteen and older regarding chronic health conditions, preventive service utilization, and health behaviors. Additionally, the authority requires telephone interviews with mothers who were selected for participation but did not reply to any of the three previously sent mail surveys. The scope of work covers conducting a telephone survey consisting of seventy-five questions, which takes approximately twenty-five to forty-two minutes to complete. For each monthly batch, an average of about one hundred and fifty mothers, representing over thirty percent of each batch, will enter this telephone phase. The authority requires a web-based interview system for the phone module to enable immediate data collection, scheduling, and the recording of call attempts and outcomes. Bidders must be onshore organizations located within the United States to be eligible for this opportunity. The authority requires all performance of the work to take place offsite. The authority is looking for proposals to determine the budget and has set a strict deadline for all questions to be submitted no later than June 04, 2026.
