Atherholt The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, PAB (Washington) intends to modify Contract Number 200-94-7009 with Abt Associates to extend the period of performance for twelve months. This extension for the State and Local Area Immunization Coverage and Health Survey is for additional data collection in all 50 states and 28 metropolitan areas. In order to assure consistency and comparability throughout the entire survey at minimal cost, especially at this critical juncture of the initial phases of the contract option and final development, the continuation must be with the original contractor.
