(Fairfax, VA - March 19, 2010) C2Logix announced that it has received a Certificate of Appreciation from Thomas R. Frieden, M.D., M.P.H., Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), recognizing the firm’s outstanding support during the CDC’s recent H1N1 influenza A response, the most complex deployment of Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) assets in its 10-year history.

“Your shared sense of urgency was impressive, and your ability to quickly double your service capacity during this real-world event was outstanding,” states the certificate. “The distribution of medical supplies during this response proved to be highly valuable to both CDC and our partners at the state and local level.”

“Everyone in the C2Logix team volunteered to be on-call 24/7 for assistance as soon as the deployment was activated,” noted Kevin Callen, C2Logix Chief Technology Officer. “Being recognized by the CDC is very flattering and, most importantly, we are proud of our contribution to the successful and timely distribution of medicines out to where they were needed.”

The CDC has been providing the SNS TourSolver Portal, developed by C2Logix, since November 2007. The Portal is a central route simulation and optimization decision-making tool with over 400 users, featuring a web-based version of the powerful, yet easy-to-use TourSolver™ route optimization software. The customized tool enables planners to quickly generate optimized routes to distribute supplies from central storage facilities to multiple local points of distribution in communities. For the swine flu response, emergency managers were able to identify the number of trucks they required, how long it would take to complete the deliveries, and the actual travel path and route that each driver would take.

During the CDC’s response effort to the outbreak of H1N1 virus, or swine flu, C2Logix took steps to enhance the technology provided to federal, state, and local government emergency managers through the SNS. The Stockpile provides medical supplies and flu anti-viral medicines to thwart the spread of the virus. C2Logix provides route optimization software for planning the distribution of medicines in a fast and efficient manner. Prior to the CDC’s release of 25% of the stockpile’s anti-viral medicines, the CDC engaged C2Logix to double its capacity of vehicle route optimization servers. C2Logix immediately stepped in and also provided additional assistance to help emergency managers prepare and implement the distribution plans.

In the CDC’s 2008 Contractor Performance Report reviewing C2Logix work in the first year of the contract, C2Logix received the highest rating for each performance category, which included quality of product or service, value, timeliness of performance, and business relations. The report also states that “the state and local stakeholders for CDC have found this service to be highly useful”;“the vendor has always been highly responsive to any requests, and has taken the initiative on issues that were not considered by the CDC”; and “…also provided assistance above and beyond the scope of the contract in support of the response efforts to the hurricane activity in Louisiana.”

The CDC, headquartered in Atlanta, GA, is an agency of the United States Department of Health and Human Services, which Congress charged with establishing the SNS in 1999. The SNS is a national repository of life-saving pharmaceuticals and medical materials. It was built to respond to large-scale public health emergencies or acts of terrorism.
