HHS CDC - Modernized Application for VAERS Reporting - MRAS

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), in collaboration with the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), is seeking to conduct market research to modernize the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). This initiative aims to enhance the efficiency and reliability of VAERS reporting, ensuring that adverse events related to vaccinations are captured accurately and promptly. The overarching goal is to improve public health monitoring and response capabilities by leveraging modern technology solutions.

The work requested involves developing a modernized application for VAERS reporting. The focus is on creating a system that can efficiently handle large volumes of data, provide user-friendly interfaces for healthcare providers and patients, and integrate seamlessly with existing health IT infrastructures. This modernization effort requires expertise in software development, data management, cybersecurity, and user experience design.

Potential contractors are expected to demonstrate their capabilities in delivering robust IT solutions that meet stringent security requirements while ensuring ease of use for all stakeholders involved in vaccine safety monitoring. The project will involve collaboration with various public health entities to ensure that the new system aligns with current healthcare standards and practices.
