This is a rebate invoice document from the Cherokee Nation Department of Health Nutrition Services Section for the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program, part of the NEATO/WIC Retail Infant Formula Rebate Agreement involving seven jurisdictions including Cherokee Nation, Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont. The invoice covers infant formula products supplied by Abbott Laboratories under rebate contract number Abbott 10-1-2024, which runs from October 1, 2024, through September 30, 2026. For the redemption month of July 2025 (invoice date August 5, 2025), Cherokee Nation's WIC program redeemed 6,227 total units across five Similac infant formula product lines, including powdered and ready-to-feed formulations in milk and soy varieties, which are core product categories required under the NEATO procurement. The invoice demonstrates the operational execution of the rebate agreement, with monthly rebate payments processed and remitted to Cherokee Nation WIC within the required 30-day payment timeframe.

The July 2025 rebate invoice reflects a total rebate amount of $134,172.99 payable to Cherokee Nation WIC at their Tahlequah, Oklahoma address. Abbott Laboratories, as the current incumbent vendor under the existing NEATO contract, supplied formula products with rebate per-unit amounts ranging from $3.33 to $23.46 depending on product type and form. Historical rebate data across all NEATO jurisdictions demonstrates substantial monthly invoice values, with individual jurisdictions reporting rebates ranging from approximately $127,000 to $2.4 million monthly as of mid-2025, indicating significant contract value and volume. The NEATO procurement, funded through federal USDA Food and Nutrition Service funding with supplemental state funding from Massachusetts, operates on a cent-for-cent adjustment basis where rebate amounts automatically adjust with changes in the manufacturer's national wholesale prices for full truckloads, ensuring pricing alignment with market conditions throughout the contract term.
