The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) awarded this $1,996,408,200.00 Indefinite Delivery Contract to Sanofi Pasteur Inc. to provide standard commercial pediatric vaccines for the Vaccines for Children (VFC) program. This 5-year contract, running from April 1, 2025 to March 30, 2026, aims to purchase vaccines to support immunization efforts for Medicaid-eligible, uninsured, American Indian/Alaska Native, and underinsured children. As the prime contractor, Sanofi Pasteur will leverage its manufacturing and distribution capabilities to fulfill vaccine orders with 15-day deliveries to CDC distribution centers in multiple states. The unrestricted solicitation evaluated offerors on technical capability, pricing, and past performance, with Federal Excise Tax to be included in the pricing. While specific award values were not stated, the solicitation outlined potential maximum order quantities ranging from 100 doses to 13 million doses for various vaccine types. This contract allows the CDC to utilize VFC and Section 317 funds to obtain vaccines at favorable prices compared to the commercial market, while also providing an opportunity for state/local purchases of non-eligible children's vaccines.
Sanofi Pasteur Inc. is an experienced federal contractor, holding several Indefinite Delivery Vehicles with the Department of Health and Human Services, Defense Logistics Agency, and other agencies to supply vaccines, pharmaceuticals, and medical supplies. The firm's expertise in manufacturing, delivering, and supporting key public health immunization programs makes it well-suited to fulfill this CDC requirement for the Vaccines for Children program.
