B.1 Background Statement. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is seeking to award one or more Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contracts for the purchase of standard commercial adult vaccines. The establishment of these contracts provides opportunity to utilize Section 317 vaccine purchase direct assistance (DA) grant funds to obtain vaccines at prices below those available in the commercial market place. These federal funds are intended for state and local health departments to purchase vaccines for populations at greatest risk for under vaccination and disease. The 317 program as established under Section 317(j) of the Public Health Service Act, works to ensure that adults receive appropriate immunization by partnering with healthcare providers in the public and private sectors. The program helps assure the implementation of effective immunization practices and proper use of vaccines to achieve higher immunization coverage. The vaccines awarded under these contracts will be purchased for NCIRD’s immunization awardees to support adult immunization programs as provided under Section 317(j) of the Public Health Service Act. In addition, awardees may opt to purchase additional quantities of vaccine for adults under any resulting contract using state/local funds.

B.2 Definitions:

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.

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

B.3 Contract Type: Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity with Firm Fixed Price Delivery Orders B.4 Minimum Ordering Amount:

Minimum Order Amount: 100 doses.

B.5 Minimum Guarantee: This contract guarantees that delivery order(s) amounting to a minimum of 100 doses will be issued during the contract period. In the event the contractor receives obligations of less than this minimum, the Government will fund the difference between the actual obligation and the guaranteed minimum. Once a delivery order is issued for 100 or more doses, the government has satisfied its minimum guarantee.

(End of clause)

C.3.18. Federal Excise Tax Credit Negotiated prices for the vaccines included in this Contract may include a Federal Excise Tax (See Continuation of SF 1449 for applicable Contract Line Item Numbers). If for any reason the vaccine is returned (other than for resale) or destroyed, the Contractor shall within 6 months following the date the vaccine is returned or destroyed file a claim for credit or refund relative to any tax previously paid on such vaccine. The Contractor agrees to credit or refund the amount of such excise tax to the purchaser to the extent that the Contractor receives a credit or refund from the Federal Government. Any such credit or refund to the purchaser is expressly conditioned upon the authorized purchaser providing a written summary of events leading to the request for credit or refund. The purchaser shall return all undistributed vaccine to the Contractor for proper disposal, unless destruction of the vaccine renders return impossible. If destruction of the vaccine renders return impossible and is therefore destroyed by the purchaser, the authorized purchaser must provide a written summary of events to the Contractor within 30 days of said destruction. If a contract is in place with the Contractor at the time when a credit or refund is due; the purchaser may elect to receive vaccine which will be purchased at the current contract price in lieu of a cash payment. Otherwise, the Contractor shall refund the amount due to the purchaser’s account. If a credit or refund is issued by the Contractor for state or local funds, it shall be submitted to the state or local public health entity identified in the request for FET credit.

For all Federal Excise Tax refund and other checks sent to the government, each shall reference the Purchase Order number(s) and line item(s) of origin.

The report shall include the following information: order number, date of order, and status of order in number of pending/undelivered doses. 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.

(End of clause)

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. The Government shall also provide the Contractor with an annual Vaccine Tracking System (VTrckS) spend plan for each Awardee and an annual providers list during the first quarter of the fiscal year.

(End of clause)

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.

(End of clause)

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 may 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 non-government customers.

(End of clause)

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.

(End of clause)

C.3.29. CDC42.0002 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.

(End of clause)
