Integrated Portfolio Advisory Committee (PAC) Charter, and agreements between BARDA and the Department of Defense, the National Institutes of Health, the Centers for Disease Control, and the Food and Drug Administration, BARDA may share technical deliverables and test results created in the performance of this Contract with colleagues within the Integrated Portfolio.

This advance understanding does not authorize the Government to share financial information outside of the United States Government. The Contractor is advised to review the terms of FAR 52.227-14, Rights in Data – General, regarding the government’s rights to deliverables submitted during performance as well as the government’s rights to data contained within those deliverables.

g) Approval of Human and Animal Protocols

The Contractor shall submit all human and animal protocols and human informed consent documents as referenced under this Contract to the COR for review and approval prior to seeking other approvals (Institutional Review Board, Human Use Committee, Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee) unless the contractor already had such approvals prior to contract award.

SECTION C – DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/WORK STATEMENT

1.1. STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES

C.1.1 BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE

This Request for Proposal (RFP) covers the advanced research and development, procurement, and delivery of Pralidoxime (2-pyridine aldoxime methyl chloride; 2-PAM) autoinjectors that have received, or will receive by 2028, FDA approval for the treatment of organophosphate (OP) poisoning, including nerve agents, in both adult and pediatric populations. Acceptance of the autoinjectors into the SNS/CHEMPACKs requires that the finished product meet all specifications and reliability requirements as determined by the FDA. The goal of this acquisition is to replace the 2-PAM autoinjectors held in the legacy MARK-1™ kits in the Strategic National Stockpile’s (SNS) CHEMPACK Program with autoinjectors containing only 2-PAM for the flexibility of use in diverse civilian population for rapid intramuscular administration. 2-PAM autoinjectors would be used in the prehospital setting (EMS CHEMPACKs) and in the hospital setting in a mass casualty situation involving nerve agents to increase the ease and speed of administration. 2-PAM autoinjectors will be FDA approved for pediatric and adult populations.

Organophosphate or nerve agent poisoning requires intervention to occur quickly given the rapid onset of symptoms, which manifest within minutes, rather than hours. Pralidoxime (2-PAM) and atropine, an anticholinergic, must be administered as soon as possible. Both drugs should be available as far forward as practical, in a presentation that allows for ease of use in a mass casualty scenario. Intramuscular autoinjectors fulfil this requirement. Modern, FDA-approved, atropine autoinjectors are available, but there are currently no 2-PAM autoinjectors aside from those found in MARK-1™ kits, a legacy set of nerve-agent countermeasure autoinjectors currently stocked by SNS under the Shelf Life Extension Program. There is a requirement for SNS to stockpile a modern acetylcholinesterase reactivator (2-PAM, 600 mg) to complement existing atropine autoinjectors.

These new 2-PAM (600 mg) autoinjectors would replace those held in the legacy Mark-1 kits. The military has moved toward use of a dual drug autoinjector (ATNAA/DuoDote®) that includes both atropine (2.1 mg) and 2-PAM (600 mg). PHEMCE has determined that the needs of the SNS in treating a diverse civilian population would be better served by the flexibility of separate autoinjectors for the two drugs. Therefore, development and acquisition of 2-PAM (600mg) IM autoinjectors and their approval as a drug/device combination product for the treatment of organophosphate and nerve agent poisonings will fulfill the present requirement.

This acquisition will allow BARDA to invest Project Bioshield funds for late-stage clinical development, regulatory approval for 2-PAM autoinjectors (as a drug/device combination product) to treat organophosphate (OP) poisoning, including nerve agents, in adult and pediatric populations, and procurement of 2-PAM autoinjectors for the SNS/CHEMPACK Program.

C.1.2. SCOPE

Independently and not as an agent of the USG, the Offeror shall furnish all the necessary services, qualified personnel, materials, supplies, equipment, and facilities not otherwise provided by the USG as needed to perform the work described below.

The USG is seeking to procure and maintain approximately 2,000,000 autoinjectors for the treatment of organophosphate (OP) poisoning, including nerve agents. 2-PAM (600mg) autoinjectors shall be delivered to the SNS/CHEMPACK Program. 2-PAM autoinjectors in the legacy MARK-1™ kits and ATNAA/DuoDote® will be replaced by 2-PAM 600 mg single dose autoinjectors under this planned procurement. The USG will utilize this procurement of 2-PAM autoinjectors to prepare for a mass casualty event involving nerve agents. 2-PAM autoinjectors shall be delivered to the SNS/CHEMPACK Program and shall be FDA approved as a drug/device combination product for the treatment of OP poisoning, including nerve agents, or acceptable for use under an EUA.

The scope of the base period will include late-stage development activities necessary to support FDA authorization of 2-PAM autoinjectors and the initial procurement of 2-PAM autoinjectors. Optional CLINs will include procurement of autoinjectors as well as additional late-stage development activities, fulfillment of additional USG security requirements as necessary, Post-Marketing Commitments. Procurement options represent a series of incremental purchases of 2-PAM autoinjectors until the entire requirement for the manufacturing and procurement of approximately 2,000,000 2-PAM (600mg) autoinjectors are met.

The statement of objectives is outlined in the following sections that the Offeror(s) shall address in their proposed statement of work:

Section 1: Program Management and Risk Mitigation Objectives

Section 2 Late-Stage Product Development Objectives

Section 3: Supply and Delivery of Product Objectives

Section 4: Post-Marketing Commitments and/or Requirements (Option)

Section 5: Additional Procurements (Option)

SECTION ONE

PROGRAM MANAGEMENT AND RISK MITIGATION OBJECTIVES

The Offeror is directed towards details provided in Section F for items below.

1.1 The Offeror shall submit program/risk management documents as described in Section F

– Deliveries or Performance.

1.2 The Offeror shall develop and maintain a risk mitigation plan that is acceptable to the CO and COR. This shall include a risk matrix per Attachment 5. The Offeror shall provide a security plan which is associated with all aspects of manufacture of product, process, storage, and inventory of the 2-PAM autoinjectors. The Security Plan shall include all sites within the supply chain, including proposed shipping carriers. For those sites/carriers that are not defined at the time of award or are added during the period of performance, individualized Security Plans shall be provided to the USG prior to inclusion of sites/carriers into the supply chain. BARDA’s Program Protection Office will be authorized to review and approve Security Plans and will conduct annual audits / site visits to ensure a reliable product is delivered to the USG. Security requirements and a template for a Security Plan are included in Attachments 7 and 8, respectively.

1.3 The Offeror submitting a proposal will be required to provide a copy of their facility security plan with their proposal in response to this solicitation. The Offeror is responsible for ensuring all proposed subcontractors provide a facility security plan to be included in the submission.
