SAM.gov
SAM.gov is the official site for registering to do business with the federal government.
Visit SAM.gov to find current contract opportunities throughout the Federal Government. SAM.gov allows you to search thousands of active federal opportunities and register to be notified of newly posted opportunities in your industry. This website lists contract opportunities at CDC and other federal agencies.
SAM.gov is the one-stop gateway to all open market federal business opportunities over $25,000. Additionally, CDC uses SAM.gov for open market purchases ranging from $15,000-25,000 in accordance with FAR 5.101(a)(2).
For proposed contract actions that are justified in restricting or limiting competition in accordance with FAR 6.3 or FAR 8.405-6 or FAR 16.505, interested parties can review the justification at SAM.gov.
Actions being competed under GSA Schedule, under an agency blanket purchase agreement (BPA), or under an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract will not be found at SAM.gov because those competitions are only available to existing contract or blanket purchase agreement (BPA) holders.

Other Transaction Agreements
Other Transaction (OT) Agreements are binding legal instruments, distinct from Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)-based contracts, grants, or cooperative agreements. OTs may provide CDC with flexibility when seeking support in the areas of infectious disease research, bio-surveillance, infectious disease modeling, and public health preparedness and response. OTs may be used when the benefits of their use exceed that of, or the circumstances do not support the use of, FAR-based contracts, grants, cooperative agreements, or other available funding mechanisms. Visit SAM.gov to find current OT opportunities.
