The Vaccines for Children 2021 Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases (CDC NCIRD), is designed to procure a comprehensive range of pediatric vaccines for national immunization programs. The contract covers 20 distinct vaccine types, including DTaP, Hepatitis A and B, MMR, Pneumococcal, and Meningococcal vaccines, with each vaccine type having specified minimum and maximum dose requirements. The procurement supports the Vaccines for Children (VFC) program and Section 317(j) of the Public Health Service Act, focusing on providing immunization resources to the 50 states and U.S. territories.

The contract allows for flexible vaccine procurement with each vaccine type having dose ranges typically between 100 minimum and several million maximum doses, such as Pneumococcal Conjugate vaccine's maximum of 13 million doses. While specific task order details are not provided, the contract is structured to support pediatric immunization programs with a one-year performance period from April 1, 2021, to March 31, 2022. The solicitation followed Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 12 for commercial items acquisition, with no specific set-aside designations. Vaccines must meet FDA licensing requirements and maintain a minimum 12-month shelf life, with federal excise taxes ranging from $0.75 to $3.75 per dose depending on the vaccine type. The contract enables CDC NCIRD to efficiently procure essential vaccines through a standardized, flexible acquisition mechanism.
