This statute, available in the attached link and copied below, specifies in subsection (d)(1) that the Secretary “shall negotiate and enter into contracts with manufacturers of pediatric vaccines (italics added). . .” and further defines manufacturers in subsection (h)(4)  as a “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 (italics added).”
