VAMS is a web-based application that tracks the administration and distribution of COVID-19 vaccination. In order to support the continued COVID-19 vaccination efforts, CDC utilizes the established VAMS to facilitate mass vaccination scenarios and data collection/tracking of COVID-19 vaccination. The VAMS application is configured on Deloitte's GovConnect platform that leverages Salesforce infrastructure. Both the operations and maintenance as well as development and adaptation builds off of the work accomplished under the previous two (2) contracts (developed under 75D30120C08239 and maintained and expanded under 75D30121C10087). Because Deloitte has completed all development, maintenance, and operations to date and the system is configured on their proprietary GovConnect platform, Deloitte is uniquely qualified and the only responsible source who can provide follow-on support for the operations and maintenance of this system.
