gsaadvantage.gov. The goal is to provide
customer agencies with quality,
meaningful, complete data to better
search and compare products, thereby
enhancing competition and saving
taxpayer dollars. This endeavor is a
critical piece of a larger effort to
modernize the FSS program as a whole,
under which FAS aims to increase
efficiency and effectiveness, facilitate
the purchase of total solutions,
maximize competition, and promote
small business utilization across
Government.
The availability of MPN and UPC–A
data improves overall data integrity,
encouraging additional business from
customers looking for the ability to
quickly and accurately compare
identical products. The standardization
of part number data allows for greater
transparency and improved business
intelligence that will enable customers
to make smarter, data-driven buying
decisions. Collectively, these benefits
will yield increased customer
confidence as GSA works to make the
FSS program the Government’s premier
acquisition vehicle.
Unaltered MPN data is required for all
products, except where the
manufacturer has not assigned a part
number to identify the item. UPC–A
data is required for all products for
which this information is commercially
available. The FAS performed market
research to determine the Federal
Supply Schedules and Special Item
Numbers (SINs) under which UPC–A
data is commercially available—a
complete listing can be viewed at
http://eoffer.gsa.gov.
MPN and UPC–A data is widely
utilized throughout the commercial
marketplace. FSS contractors are simply
providing the existing MPN and UPC–
A data that is used to classify their
awarded FSS products. Many FSS
contractors have already provided this
data in their price lists. In fact,
approximately 8 million MPNs and 1.3
million unique UPC–A codes are
currently listed in FSS contractor price
lists published on gsaadvantage.gov.
Obtaining MPN and UPC–A data from
existing FSS contractors will allow GSA
to acquire baseline information across
the contracts already awarded under the
FSS program. A bilateral ‘‘mass
modification’’ will be distributed by
GSA to all contractors with FSS
contracts that include products. FSS
contractors will be required to sign the
modification and provide this data in
their price lists within 60 days of
distribution.
FSS contractors that do not provide
this data will have noncompliant
products ‘‘grayed-out’’ (i.e., no longer

customer-facing eTools (GSA
Advantage!, eBuy, etc.). In addition,
GSA may consider noncompliance
when determining whether to exercise
the next contract option period. GSA
might choose not to exercise the next
option period, thereby allowing the
contract to expire.

Proposed Project
Identification of Behavioral and
Clinical Predictors of Early HIV
Infection (Project DETECT)—New—
National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral
Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention
(NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), National Center for
HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB
Prevention (NCHHSTP), Division of
HIV/AIDS Prevention (DHAP) requests a
3-year approval for a new data
collection called ‘‘Identification of
Behavioral and Clinical Predictors of
Early HIV Infection (Project DETECT).’’
CDC provides guidelines for HIV
testing and diagnosis for the United
States, as well as technical guidance for
its grantees. CDC will use the HIV
testing data collected for this project to
update these guidance documents to
reflect the latest available testing
technologies, their performance
characteristics, and considerations
regarding their use. Specifically, CDC
will describe the information on
behavioral and clinical characteristics of
persons with early infection to help HIV
test providers (including CDC grantees)
choose which HIV tests to use, and
target tests appropriately to persons at
different levels of risk. This information
will be disseminated primarily through
guidance documents and articles in
peer-reviewed journals.
The primary study population will be
persons at high risk for or diagnosed
with HIV infection, many of whom will
be men who have sex with men (MSM)

storage and use in future HIV test
evaluations at CDC. Participants will be
followed up only to the point at which
all their test results become concordant.
At each time point, participants will be
asked to complete the Phase 2 HIV
Symptom and Care survey that collects
information on symptoms associated
with early HIV infection as well as
access to HIV care and treatment since
the last Phase 2 visit. When all tests
become concordant (i.e., at the last
Phase 2 visit) participants will complete
the Phase 2 behavioral survey to
identify any behavioral changes during
follow-up. Of the 50 Phase 2
participants; it is estimated that no more
than 26, annually, will have early HIV
infection.
All data for the proposed information
collection will be collected via an
electronic Computer Assisted SelfInterview (CASI) survey. Participants
will complete the surveys on an
encrypted computer, with the exception
of the Phase 2 Symptom and Care
survey, which will be administered by
a research assistant and then
electronically entered into the CASI
system. Data to be collected via CASI
include questions on sociodemographics, medical care, HIV
testing, pre-exposure prophylaxis,
antiretroviral treatment, sexually
transmitted diseases (STD) history,
symptoms of early HIV infection,
substance use and sexual behavior.
Data from the surveys will be merged
with HIV test results and relevant
clinical data using the unique
identification (ID) number. Data will be
stored on a secure server managed by
the University of Washington
Department of Medicine Information
Technology (IT) Services.
The participation of respondents is
voluntary. There is no cost to the
respondents other than their time. The
total estimated annual burden hours for
the proposed project are 2,111 hours.

because the majority of new HIV
infections occur each year among this
population. The goals of the project are
to: (1) characterize the performance of
new HIV tests for detecting established
and early HIV infection at the point of
care, relative to each other and to
currently used gold standard, non-POC
tests, and (2) identify behavioral and
clinical predictors of early HIV
infection.
Project DETECT will enroll 1,667
persons annually at the primary study
site clinic in Seattle, and an additional
200 persons will be enrolled from other
clinics in the greater Seattle area. The
study will be conducted in two phases.
Phase 1: After a clinic client consents
to participate, he/she will be assigned a
unique participant ID and will then
undergo testing with the seven new HIV
tests under study. While awaiting test
results, participants will undergo
additional specimen collections and
complete the Phase 1 Enrollment
Survey.
Phase 2: All Phase 1 participants
whose results on the seven tests under
investigation are not in agreement with
one another (‘‘discordant’’) will be
considered to have a potential early HIV
infection. Nucleic amplification testing
that detects viral nucleic acids will be
conducted to confirm an HIV diagnosis
and rule out false positives. Study
investigators expect that each year, 50
participants with discordant test results
will be invited to participate in serial
follow-up specimen collections to assess
the time point at which all HIV test
results resolve and become concordant
positive (indicating enrollment during
early infection) or concordant negative
(indicating one or more false-positive
test results in Phase 1).
The follow-up schedule will consist
of up to nine visits scheduled at regular
intervals over a 70-day period. At each
follow-up visit, participants will be
tested with the new HIV tests and
additional oral fluid and blood
specimens will also be collected for

HIV Outpatient Study (HOPS)—
New—National Center for HIV/AIDS,
Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention
(NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention requests a three-year
approval for the HIV Outpatient Study
data collection activity. The HIV
Outpatient Study (HOPS) is a
prospective longitudinal cohort of HIVinfected outpatients at nine wellestablished private HIV care practices
and university-based U.S. clinics.
Clinical data are abstracted on ongoing
basis from the medical records of adult
HIV-infected HOPS study participants,
who also complete an optional seven
minute telephone/web-based behavioral
assessment as part of their annual clinic
visit.
Before enrolling in this study, all
potential study participants will
undergo an informed consent process
(including signing of a written informed
consent) which is estimated to take 15
minutes.
The core areas of HOPS research
extending through the present HIV
treatment era include (i) monitoring
death rates and causes of death (ii)
characterizing the optimal patient
management strategies to reduce HIVrelated morbidity and mortality (e.g.,
effectiveness of antiretroviral therapies
and other clinical interventions (iii)
monitoring of sexual and drug use
behaviors to inform Prevention with
Positives, and (iv) investigating
disparities in the HIV care continuum
by various demographic factors. In
recent years, the HOPS has been
instrumental in bringing attention to
emerging issues in chronic HIV
infection with actionable opportunities

for prevention, including:
cardiovascular disease, fragility
fractures, renal and hepatic disease, and
cancers. The HOPS remains an
important source for multi-year trend
data concerning conditions and
behaviors for which data are not readily
available elsewhere, including: rates of
opportunistic illnesses, rates of
comorbid conditions (e.g., hypertension,
obesity, diabetes) and antiretroviral drug
resistance.
Data will be collected through
medical record abstraction by trained
abstractors and by telephone or internetbased, computer-assisted interviews at
nine funded study sites in six U.S.
cities.
Collection of data abstracted from
patient medical records provides data in
five general categories: Demographics
and risk behaviors for HIV infection;
symptoms; diagnosed conditions
(definitive and presumptive);
medications prescribed (including dose,
duration, and reasons for stopping); all
laboratory values, including CD4+ Tlymphocyte (CD4+) cell counts, plasma
HIV–RNA determinations, and
genotype, phenotype, and trophile
results. Data on visit frequency, AIDS,
and death are acquired from the clinic
chart.
Data collected using a brief Telephone
Audio-Computer Assisted SelfInterview (T–ACASI) survey or an
identical web-based Audio-Computer
Assisted Self-Interview (ACASI)
include: Age, sex at birth, use of alcohol
and drugs, cigarette smoking, adherence
to antiretroviral medications, types of
sexual intercourse, condom use, and
disclosure of HIV status to partners.
We estimate consenting 450 new
participants per year across all HOPS
study sites (50 participants at each of
the 9 sites). The consent process takes
approximately 15 minutes to complete.
Medical record abstractions will be
completed on all eligible participants.
All eligible participants will be offered
the opportunity to participate in an
optional short survey that will take
approximately seven minutes.
Participation of respondents is
voluntary. There is no cost to the
respondents other than their time. The
estimated annual burden hours are 405.
