Notice ID: PR52394

“The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) intends to award a sole source firm fixed price purchase order to Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine Inc., Bethesda, Maryland for a Military Health System…”

“This project provides ongoing access to and evaluation of important public health surveillance data from the DoD electronic health records system, critical to the U.S. CKD policy efforts. It also allows for the comparison of DoD CKD metrics with Healthy People 2030 CKD indicators and goals and for delineation of specific objectives which will require advanced surveillance capabilities to track progress.  This will be the only mechanism providing systemic analysis of this extremely valuable aggregated data. The project will enable (1) the clinical leadership of the MHS to understand natural history trends and outcome factors in the incidence and prevalence of kidney injury and disease in the DoD beneficiary population, and (2) the scientific staff of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to strengthen their CKD surveillance, epidemiology, economic, and health outcomes and policy initiatives.”

“Project Objective:

The purpose of this contract is to have continuity in establishing and supporting an analytical database that will assess the epidemiology, economic impact, and effectiveness of care of CKD in the MHS and contribute to the understanding of the impact of CKD in the United States in general.”

“Scope of Work:

  1. Conduct descriptive analyses of the prevalence and incidence of CKD and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in MHS patients, including assessment of the important epidemiological associations among active-duty and non-active duty populations…
  2. Conduct descriptive analyses of trajectories toward ESRD using serial creatinine measurements prior to onset of ESRD from the MHS…
  3. Explore rates of kidney transplants in patients in the MHS and how transplant survival compares to non-MHS recipients…”
