Proposed Quantity and Presentation: Offerors may propose any number of vaccines or presentations of inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV) or live attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV) indicated for children 6 months through 18 years of age.

B.1 Background Statement. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) awards contracts to manufacturers of pediatric vaccines 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 Vaccine 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 funds to obtain vaccines at prices below those available in the commercial market place. In addition, awardees may opt to purchase additional quantities of vaccine under any resulting contract to provide immunizations for children who are not federally vaccine-eligible children using state and local funds.

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.

B.3 Type of Contract: Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity with Firm-Fixed Price Delivery Orders.

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.

Atlanta, GA 30329-4027

C.3.19. Delinquent Delivery Report

The Contractor shall provide CDC with a weekly electronic listing of all CDC orders that have not been shipped within the agreed upon delivery schedule. The report shall include the following information: project name, 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.

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.

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

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 Distributor 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.
