WIC Infant Formula Rebate Program

The North Dakota WIC Infant Formula Rebate Program is a state-wide contract designed to provide infant formula to participants in the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program through a rebate-based procurement mechanism. The contract enables the North Dakota Department of Health and Human Services to secure infant formula products from Abbott Laboratories, with rebates applied to all qualifying infant formula purchases. This vehicle specifically covers the procurement of infant formula products for WIC program participants, excluding certain exempt infant formulas, and establishes a cooperative purchasing arrangement that allows the state to optimize its nutritional support services.

The contract, officially designated as Term Contract Number 082-ABBO, is currently held by Abbott Laboratories Inc., with a performance period from October 1, 2021, to September 30, 2025, following two contract amendments. The vehicle covers the entire state of North Dakota and operates as a cooperative purchasing contract leveraging a competitive solicitation originally initiated by the State of Missouri. While the contract itself has no direct monetary award, it provides a structured rebate mechanism whereby Abbott Laboratories provides financial compensation for infant formula purchases made through the WIC program. The contract is set to expire on September 30, 2025, with no further renewal options available after this extension.
