Initial Questions to RFP #75A50126R00002

Submission Date: June 23, 2026

1. Question 1 | RFP Section: B.2.1 & B.2.2 Is the timing listed for the period of performance for each CLIN in the RFP based on calendar year or USG fiscal year? Please also clarify the anticipated timing and delivery for the additional procurement CLINs 0004, 0006, 0007. The table in Section B.2.2 identifies the Period of Performance as 24 months but the accompanying dates (e.g. 2029-2031) do not provide suWicient detail to understand what months would start and end each period of performance, which directly aWect production forecasts required for the RFP response.

Response: The PoPs are based on the USG fiscal year. The exact PoP will be at the date of award of the contract. Currently they are scheduled to be executed at 36, 60 and 72 months for CLINS 0004, 00006, and 0007 respectively. They would end at 60, 84, and 96 months respectively. Specific delivery dates can be negotiated if nec essary.

2. Question 2 | RFP Section: B.2.1

99.999% reliability: Can BARDA clarify the methodology it intends to use to assess compliance?

Response: The government recommend using Critical Parameter Development and

Management. The deliverables from this process will be used to assess compliance to reliability requirements and assess system robustness.

3. Question 6 | RFP Section: C.1.2 For Section 1.3, the RFP states: "The OWeror is responsible for ensuring all proposed subcontractors provide a facility security plan to be included in the submission." Are these subcontractors limited to those who will be manufacturing and distributing product? The requirement does not appear to diWerentiate between subcontractors used for the late-stage development portion of the contract and those used for the procurement portion of the contract. Please clarify if facility security plans arerequir ed for only subcontractors utilized in the procurement CLINs or if facility security plans are required for all subcontractors used, including those used in the CLINs dedicated to late-stage development and post-market license commitments.

Response: The specifics for a facility security plan for subcontractors can be negotiated. The facility security plan is only necessary for those tied to procurement CLINs. However, the subcontractors involved in the procurement CLINs should follow all security requirements as stated in the RFP.

4. Question 8 | RFP Section: F.4

Section E.8 states that the Final Security Plan is due to the COR for approval "no later than 90 days after the date of award"; however, Item No. 24 from the Deliverable Schedule in Section F.4 states that the Final Security Plan is "due within 30 days of contract award." Which is the actual due date?

Response: The Final Security Plan is due no later than 90 days after the date of award.

Number 19 of the deliverable table under Section F.4 DELIVERABLE TABLE has been updated to ‘due within 90 days of contract award’ to match Section F 3.2. Reporting Requirements, E.8 Security Plan.

5. Question 9 | RFP Section: F.4

Section E.9 states that the Quality Management System Plan is due to the COR for approval "no later than 60 days after the date of award"; however, Item No. 24 from the Deliverable Schedule in Section F.4 states that the Quality Management System Plan is "due within 30 days of contract award." Which is the actual due date?

Response: The Quality Management System Plan is due no later than 30 days after the date of award.

Section F 3.2. Reporting Requirements, E.9 Quality Management System Plan of the RFP has been updated to ‘due within 30 days after the date of award’ to match that in the Deliverable Schedule in number 24 of the deliverable table under Section F.4

DELIVERABLE SCHEDULE.

6. Question 10 | RFP Section: F.4

For the Quality Management Plan, please also clarify the expected scope and level of detail desired. Is the intent a program-specific quality plan or a broader quality governance framework supporting development, manufacturing, procurement, and lifecycle activities?

Response: The level of detail submitted in the proposal is up to the OWeror. This varies from project to project. It is recommended to minimally provide a broader quality governance framework supporting development, manufacturing, procurement, and lifecycle activities but provide more detail if able and within the page limit for the overall proposal.

7. Question 11 | RFP Section: L.4.1.1

Do key personnel have to be submitted for all subcontractors for each CLIN or only for major subcontractors for the eWort overall?

Response: The major subcontractors of key personnel submitted with the proposal are not required.

8. Question 12 | RFP Section: L.5.3

Please clarify whether Past Performance Information and completed Attachment #6 questionnaires (Past Performance Questionnaire) that are required for the RFP response pertain to contracts with the US Government only.

Response: The past performance submitted must be from contracts that are relevant to the current RFP. If an oWeror determines it has a non-government contract that is similar to this Government eWort then the oWeror can submit past performance information for that contract. Contracts do not have to be Government contracts.

9. Question 13 | RFP Section: L.5.3 In section L.5.3 under “Past Performance Information” it states that “it is the responsibility of the OWeror to ensure submission of these questionnaires to be delivered directly from their references to Government”. However, in the next paragraph it also states, “All questionnaires shall be submitted via email as part of the proposal submission no later than the closing date and time that is referenced in this solicitation.” Furthermore, Attachment #6 (Past Performance Questionnaire) indicates at the top of the form that it should be mailed by the representative of the contracting organization directly to Erin Greninger. Can you clarify which of these delivery methods to BARDA is correct?

Response: The oWeror should identify and summarize contracts it deems similar to this government requirement within its submitted proposal. The oWeror is responsible for providing the past performance questionnaire to the appropriate contact for each identified contract submitted in its proposal. The oWeror is responsible for ensuring all past performance questionnaires are submitted to the Contracting OWicer via email.

10. Question 15 | RFP Section: Attachments

Attachment #3 (Breakdown of Proposed Costs with Excel Spreadsheet) in the RFP is not an accessible document. Please provide Attachment #3 in a format that enables access to the spreadsheet.

Response: The RFP has been updated with a working Attachment 03.

11. Question 16 | RFP Section: N/A

Will there be an additional period for the submission of questions outside of the initial questions period?

Response: All questions must be submitted by JULY 15, 2026.

The cover page (Page 2) of the RFP has been updated to include the submission date for final questions.

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.
