Notes:

B.1 Background: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) awards contracts to manufacturers for the purchase of standard commercial pediatric vaccines. Vaccines are one of the most cost-effective ways to prevent disease and reduce healthcare costs. The Vaccines for Children (VFC) program, established pursuant to Section 13631 of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 (OBRA ’93), guarantees federal support for the purchase and supply of sufficient quantities of vaccine to the States to cover a defined group of children. The program helps assure the implementation of effective immunization practices and proper use of vaccines to achieve higher immunization coverage. Children (18 years-of-age or younger) who qualify for immunization through the VFC purchase program include those who are (1) Medicaid-eligible, (2) without health insurance, (3) American Indian/Alaska native (as defined in Subsection (h)(3) of the OBRA ’93), or

(4) children with health insurance, which does not cover the cost of vaccines, if they receive their immunizations at a Federally Qualified Health Center or rural health clinic (as defined by the Social Security Act). Health care providers who agree to certain requirements are eligible through the States to receive free vaccine through this VFC purchase program. The establishment of these contracts provides an opportunity to utilize VFC funds and Section 317 vaccine purchase direct assistance (DA) cooperative agreement funds to obtain vaccines at prices below those available in the commercial market place. In addition, States may opt to purchase additional quantities of vaccine under any resulting contract to provide immunizations for children who are not federally vaccine-eligible children.

B.2 Definitions:

OBRA Orders – Vaccine orders under Section 1928(a) (2)(A) of the Social Security Act.

317 Orders – Vaccine orders under Section 317(j) of the Public Health Service Act.

State and Local Orders – Vaccine orders placed by authorized immunization programs using state or local funds in accordance with Section 1928(d)(4)(B) of the Social Security Act.

Manufacturer – As defined in Subsection (h) (4) of the Social Security Act, means any corporation, organization, or institution, whether public or private, which manufactures, imports, processes, or distributes under its label any pediatric vaccine.

Awardees – Includes State health departments and certain local health agencies authorized to order hereunder.

The report shall also provide an explanation as to the cause for the delinquent delivery as well as when the vaccine will be delivered. This notification shall not relieve the contractor from meeting its obligations under the contract and shall not limit the Government’s right to seek relief for any breach of contract for failure to perform, including termination for cause.

C.3.20. Biological Surveillance Data Reports

a. The Contractor shall submit a monthly report of historical sales data for the United States by month and state, specifying the name of the vaccine, NDC #, and the total number of doses sold (segregated by CDC and non-CDC sales), in a standardized format acceptable to the Contractor and the CDC. The report shall be submitted electronically to the COR by the 15th of the month. Information related to vaccine sales through CDC contracts is not considered proprietary. CDC acknowledges that those reports pertaining to private sales unrelated to this contract are confidential and proprietary information of the Contractor, and shall not use reports for any purpose other than CDC’s internal tracking and reporting purposes and shall not further disclose such reports without the Contractor’s prior written consent unless required by the law or other Federal authority; provided that, no Contractor authorization shall be required for the CDC to include the data from the Contractor’s report in a report in which aggregated data from multiple Contractors is summarized, so long as, with respect to multi-sourced products, the CDC’s aggregated report does not include any data which could be individually identified as the Contractor’s. In the event that CDC is required by law or other Federal authority to disclose such reports required to be held confidential hereunder, CDC shall notify the Contractor prior to making such disclosure in accordance with law or other Federal authority.

b. Data Reports to Manufacturers

The Government will submit monthly reports of all vaccine data specifying doses by project, zip code, and NDC # in a standardized format. For all vaccines except direct ship vaccines, the Government shall provide distribution data. Because the Government does not distribute direct ship vaccines, purchase data will be provided. The reports shall be submitted electronically to the Contractor by the 15th of the month for the previous month.

C.3.21. Prohibitions on Inducements

The Contractor is expressly prohibited from offering, providing or arranging inducements of any kind to providers or authorized purchasers ordering vaccine under this contract for the purpose of obtaining orders for vaccine.

Examples of such inducements include, but are not limited to: entertainment, meals, and free or reduced prices for syringes, vaccines, or other medical products or supplies. If the Contractor has entered into similar agreements with the authorized purchasers which offer inducements relative to its commercial business, these agreements must be clear that they do not apply to purchases made under the CDC Federal contracts.

C.3.22. Contract Changes

Notwithstanding FAR Clause 52.212-4(c), Changes, the parties hereby agree that modifications for incremental funding and other administrative changes (e.g., changes to CDC accounting data) that do not affect the terms and conditions of the contract may be made unilaterally by the CDC.

C.3.23. Vaccine images

Upon contract award, the Contractor agrees to provide via email camera-ready vaccine product images in .pdf format and written authorization for CDC to use the images to the COR.

C.3.24. Advance Notice of Supply Issues

The Contractor agrees to provide advance notification to COR and the CDC Contracting Officer of any supply issue which may result in the Contractor’s failure to deliver vaccine within the agreed upon delivery schedule specified in the contract. This notification shall be given as soon as the Contractor becomes aware of the scope of the problem that will impede the timely delivery of vaccine. This notification shall not relieve the contractor from meeting its obligations under the contract and shall not limit the Government’s right to seek relief for any breach of contract for failure to perform, including termination for cause. Furthermore, any deviation from the delivery schedule due to a vaccine supply issue will demonstrate reasonably equal treatment with respect to the fulfillment of orders between CDC and the contracting non-government customers.

C.3.25. Authorized Distribution of Record (ADR) Agreements

In accordance with the Prescription Drug Marketing Act (PDMA) of 1998, it is requested that all suppliers provide a written statement included as an attachment in Section D of this solicitation, which designates the CDC as the ADR for all vaccines subject to distribution under this contract.

C.3.26. Use of VFC Provider Lists and Distribution of Material

a. Contractors are prohibited from utilizing VFC providers lists obtained from any source for any mailing or other communication with VFC providers, except as approved in writing by the CDC COR. In addition, contractors are prohibited from otherwise communicating with VFC providers regarding the VFC program, except as approved in writing by the CDC COR. To the extent that Contractors have established relationships with VFC providers or authorized purchasers under this contract that are independent from the VFC program, communications related to such independent relationships are not covered by this provision and do not require CDC consent.

b. Contractors are prohibited from providing names and/or addresses of VFC providers to any third party, except as needed to comply with the terms of this contract, in which cases the CDC COR shall be notified in writing.

c. Any Contractor that ships vaccine directly to VFC providers is prohibited from inserting any promotional or other material that is promotional in nature for any product that the Contractor produces, into shipping containers for vaccine purchased under this contract, except for material related to use of the vaccine as approved in writing by the CDC COR. Additionally any shipping container inserts that are required, such as handling instructions or educational materials, should not contain any promotional material as part of its content.

C.3.27. New FDA Product License

Manufacturers who receive a new FDA product license for a vaccine already included within the scope of a VFC resolution may have the new product added to its contract by modification if it is determined that adding the product is in the best interest of the Government. Such new products must be consistent with VFC formulary schedules (regarding periodicity and dosage regimens) as established for the vaccines by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). New FDA licensed products added to this contract must comply with Clause C.3.29., Price Changes, below.

C.3.28. ACIP Approved Product

When a new vaccine product is approved by the ACIP for inclusion in the VFC Formulary, the Manufacturer of such product may have the new product added to its contract by modification if it is determined that adding the product is in the best interest of the Government. This would include new vaccines, new indications or new formulations for existing products or new dosing regimens for an existing product. New FDA licensed products added to this contract must comply with Clause C.3.29., Price Changes, below.

C.3.29. Price Changes

All price change effective dates shall be approved by the CDC Contracting Officer and shall occur on the first day of the following month.

C.3.30. Evaluation of Contractor Performance Utilizing CPARS (April 2013)

In accordance with FAR 42.15, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will review and evaluate contract performance. FAR 42.1502 and 42.1503 requires agencies to prepare evaluations of contractor performance and submit them to the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS). The CDC utilizes the Department of Defense (DOD) web-based Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) to prepare and report these contractor performance evaluations. All information contained in these assessments may be used by the Government, within the limitations of FAR 42.15, for future source selections in accordance with FAR

15.304 where past performance is an evaluation factor.

The CPARS system requires a contractor representative to be assigned so that the contractor has appropriate input into the performance evaluation process. The CPARS contractor representative will be given access to CPARS and will be given the opportunity to concur or not-concur with performance evaluations before the evaluations are complete. The CPARS contractor representative will also have the opportunity to add comments to performance evaluations.

The assessment is not subject to the Disputes clause of the contract, nor is it subject to appeal beyond the review and comment procedures described in the guides on the CPARS website. Refer to: www.cpars.gov for details and additional information related to CPARS, CPARS user access, how contract performance assessments are conducted, and how Contractors participate. Access and training for all persons responsible for the preparation and review of performance assessments is also available at the CPARS website.

The contractor must provide the CDC contracting office with the name, e-mail address, and phone number of their designated CPARS representative who will be responsible for logging into CPARS and reviewing and commenting on performance evaluations. The contractor must maintain a current representative to serve as the contractor representative in CPARS. It is the contractor’s responsibility to notify the CDC contracting office, in writing (letter or email), when their CPARS representative information needs to be changed or updated. Failure to maintain current CPARS contractor representative information will result in the loss of an opportunity to review and comment on performance evaluations.
