The solicitation does not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor participation beyond the requirement for a USDA-licensed facility. There are no explicit indications of incumbent vendors or current contractors for this specific vaccine procurement. The procurement appears to be a one-time order with no guaranteed minimum or maximum purchase quantities. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the documents, the scale of the order (50,000 doses) suggests a substantial procurement value. The contract includes standard State of Idaho insurance requirements, mandating that the contractor provide certificates of commercial general liability, commercial automobile liability, and workers compensation insurance, with the State of Idaho and relevant agencies to be named as additional insureds. The successful vendor will be responsible for producing the vaccine according to the precise specifications provided by the ISDA, with the ultimate goal of supporting Idaho sheep and goat ranchers by providing a targeted Campylobacter vaccine.
