RFQ 2007-Q-10035 and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-4. This procurement is not a small business set-aside. One of the outcomes of the Futures Initiative was the decision to transform the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) into a performance-based agency whose budget is aligned with its goals for health protection. CDC's health protection goals are the basis for all of CDC?s priority decisions. A vital step in the reorganization is effectively communicating to CDC partners these health protection goals and strategic imperatives. The American Public Health Association's (APHA) annual conference and exposition draws most of CDC's strongest and most long-standing partners. Annual attendance is in the 10,000-13,000 range. APHA?s annual conference provides CDC with an opportunity to keep its partners and stakeholders informed of the goals process and gather feedback on CDC's direction. In the past two years, CDC has presented a consolidated, "one agency presence" at APHA conferences. Prior to this, our representation was spread among the various CIOs. The consolidated display at the APHA annual conference allows CDC to present a unified visual representation of our direction, unity and purpose.
