The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) awarded a sole-source, firm-fixed-price bridge contract to McKesson Specialty Distribution LLC, a subsidiary of McKesson Corporation, for national vaccine distribution services. The $899,768,719.29 contract covers a 12-month base period from August 2022 to July 2023, with a 6-month option period, to ensure continuity of the COVID-19 vaccine distribution program. This is a continuation of the existing CDC contract 200-2017-92968 awarded to McKesson, which has been critical to the nationwide distribution of over 172 million COVID-19 vaccine doses. The contract aims to mitigate risks associated with transitioning to a new vendor during the ongoing pandemic response. No set-aside designation was used for this award, as McKesson is the incumbent contractor with the necessary experience and established systems to support the CDC's vaccination efforts.
