This document is a solicitation (Request for Proposals) for a Vaccines for Children (VFC) contract from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The contract will award multiple manufacturers Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) firm-fixed price agreements to supply pediatric vaccines for the VFC program, covering 25 different vaccine types with specific maximum and minimum order quantities. The contract period runs from 4/1/2026 to 3/31/2027, with a combined maximum contract value of $13,361,773,853.93.

Key solicitation details include a proposal submission deadline of January 7, 2026 at 1:00 PM EST, with offers required from manufacturers of pediatric vaccines. The CDC has established small business subcontracting goals, including 12.17% for small businesses and 9.5% for small disadvantaged businesses. Evaluation factors include technical compliance (meeting FDA licensing, shelf-life, and federal excise tax requirements), pricing, and past performance. Vaccines must be for children 18 years and younger, targeting specific populations including Medicaid-eligible, uninsured, American Indian/Alaska Native, and children with limited vaccine coverage, with distribution through CDC's centralized vaccine tracking system.

B.1. Background:

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) awards contracts to the 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 13631of 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 marketplace. 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. Offerors for this requirement must be manufacturers of pediatric vaccines in accordance with 42 U.S.C. (S)1396s. The term "manufacturer" means any corporation, organization, or institution, whether public or private (including Federal, State, and local departments, agencies, and instrumentalities), which manufactures, imports, processes, or distributes under its label any pediatric vaccine. The term "manufacture" means to manufacture, import, process, or distribute a vaccine.

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 contract with Firm Fixed Price Delivery Orders B.4. Fair Opportunity Process for CDC-placed Orders:

In accordance with FAR 16.506(a), orders must be within the scope, issued within the specified ordering period, and be within the maximum value of the contract.as long as it addresses the requirements of 16.506(b). Delivery Orders for vaccines shall be placed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the Vaccine Tracking System (VTrckS). A formal request for delivery order proposal will not occur at the delivery order level.

In accordance with 16.507-2(a)(2) the contracting officer has broad discretion afforded in developing appropriate order placement procedures. Delivery orders for vaccines will be placed using a fair opportunity process, which uses the following factors:

1) The vaccines and presentations identified by awardees and healthcare providers as clinically appropriate for their patients.

2) recommendations by state-level medical vaccine advisory committees.

3) and the level of federal and state vaccine funding available to each jurisdiction which incorporates the established IDIQ vaccine prices in the delivery order decision.

4) Combined maximum value for all contracts is $13,361,773,853.93.

1. Packaging:

All items shall be packaged in standard commercial manner.

2. Packing:

a. Product shall be packed to ensure maintenance of FDA recommended temperature during transit and safe arrival at destination. An electronic temperature monitoring device is required with each shipment unless Contractor has obtained prior approval from CDC to use an alternative monitoring method.

b. Contractor will provide the Contracting Officer Representative (COR) with documentation that explains the cause of each temperature excursion and stability data used by the contractor to determine if the cold chain was adversely affected by temperature variance. Upon review of data and recommendation provided, CDC will notify appropriate parties if the vaccine is accepted or rejected.

C.3. Contract Ordering Period The contract period of performance and the ordering period shall begin on the date of award and shall end 12- months later.

C.4. Time of Delivery Delivery of vaccine and required documentation is required to be made at destination within 15 working days after receipt of electronic, written, or telephonic order (telephone orders to be confirmed in writing). The required documentation includes the packing list, Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), and Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) documentation. Shipments delivered with incorrect or missing packing list, EDI, or DSCSA documentation will be quarantined and considered not ready to be received into inventory until the discrepancy is resolved. Days during which vaccine is in quarantine at CDC's depots count toward the 15 working day requirement.

C.5. Place of Delivery The Contractor shall be required to deliver vaccines F.O.B. Destination, as directed by delivery orders to the CDC centralized distribution locations currently in Olive Branch, MS and Clermont, KY.

The Contractor shall be required to deliver frozen vaccines F.O.B. destination as directed by delivery orders.

C.12. Return Privileges Return privileges for credit, reimbursement, or exchange do not apply to this contract except vaccines not conforming to the specifications set forth herein.

C.13. Restrictions on Use of Vaccines Vaccines obtained under this contract shall be used only in children 18 years of age and younger as authorized under Section 1928 of the Social Security Act. Sale of such vaccine to any person or entity or reimbursement of vaccine costs is strictly prohibited. Free distribution of such vaccine is also prohibited, except where such vaccine is administered in the context of Federal and Awardee immunization program activities.

C.14. 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. Even if FET is not applicable to some or all vaccines purchased on the contract, 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 returns 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 refunds sent to the government, each shall reference the Purchase Order number(s) and line item(s) of origin. Whenever are fund is sent to CDC in response to a return PO, the following documentation shall be included with the check and sent to the COR. This documentation shall include a mapping between the refund and the return PO numbers and associated PO line-item numbers that are covered by the refund. If a credit or refund is issued by the Contractor to the Federal Funds account, it shall contain the Contractor's DUNS and TIN/EIN and shall be submitted either via EDI (for credit) or as per clause C.11 Method of Payment (for refund).

C.15. Delinquent Delivery Reports 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: 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.16. 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. There port 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. There ports 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.17. 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.18. Contract Changes Notwithstanding FAR Clause 52.212-4(d), Changes, the parties hereby agree that modifications for 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.19. Vaccine specific information - Images, SDS, HDA, PI, and NDC Mapping Template

1. Upon contract award, for all new vaccines, the Contractor agrees to provide the following to the COR:

NDC (5-4-2 format)

C.20. 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 begiven 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.

C.21. 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 02 of this solicitation, which designates the CDC as the ADR for all vaccines subject to distribution under this contract.

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.23. New FDA Product License Manufacturers who receive a new FDA product license for a vaccine already included with 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.25, Price Changes, below.

C.24. 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 ACIP Approved Products added to this contract must comply with Clause C.25, Price Changes, below.

C.25. 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 in VTrckS.

CDCG.02 Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) Jul 2017

Performance of the work hereunder shall be subject to the technical directions of the designated COR for this contract.

As used herein, technical directions are directions to the Contractor which fill in details, suggests possible lines of inquiry, or otherwise completes the general scope of work set forth herein. These technical directions must be within the general scope of work and may not alter the scope of work or cause changes of such a nature as to justify an adjustment in the stated contract price/cost, or any stated limitation thereof.

In the event that the Contractor believes full implementation of any of these directions may exceed the scope of the contract, he or she shall notify the originator of the technical direction and the Contracting Officer, immediately or as soon as possible, in a letter or e-mail separate of any required report(s). No technical direction, nor its fulfillment, shall alter or abrogate the rights and obligations fixed in this contract.

CDCH.15 Agency Ombudsman Aug 2022

CDC is committed to ensuring fair opportunity for all offerors submitting proposals for competitive task/delivery orders issued against existing Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contracts in accordance with FAR 16.505. Offerors/Contractors may protest task/delivery order awards of any amount on the grounds that the order increases the scope, period, or maximum value of the contract under which the order was issued. These complaints may be lodged at the agency level or protested with the General Accountability Office (GAO).

Additionally, in accordance with FAR 16.505(a)(10)(i), protests of task/delivery orders valued in excess of $10,000,000.00 should be filed directly with the GAO in following the procedures at FAR 33.104.

In accordance with FAR 16.505(b)(5), CDC has designated an agency Task/Delivery Order Ombudsman who is responsible for reviewing the complaints from contractors on the task/delivery order process. The Ombudsman's responsibility is to review complaints and ensure that all contractors are afforded a fair opportunity to be considered, consistent with procedures in the contract. The Contract Ombudsman is independent of the contracting office. The process for handling complaints under the Ombudsman is as follows:

(a) The written complaint must include all the information required for agency protests in FAR 33.103 and must be sent to:

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Attn: Terrance Perry Agency Ombudsman District @ Chamblee, Bldg. 2877, Mailstop- TW-3 Atlanta, GA 30341 Email: eax4@cdc.gov

Complaints must be submitted to the Agency Ombudsman no later than 10 days after the basis of the protest is known or should have been known, whichever is earlier.

(b) The Ombudsman will contact the complainant by phone, to assure full understanding of the issues raised in the protest. This contact will be made within 2 business days of the receipt of the protests by the Ombudsman. Since there is only one individual serving as the agency Task/Delivery Order Ombudsman, there may be protests received when the Ombudsman is in a travel or leave status. In that instance, the Ombudsman will begin action on the complaint immediately upon return to the office.

CDCH.23 Evaluation of Contractor Performance Utilizing CPARS Aug 2021

In accordance with FAR 42.15, 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 Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS). CDC utilizes this web-based system to prepare and report 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.
