MED51 Flu Vaccine 2017-2018 season

This state and local contracting opportunity is for the procurement of flu vaccines for the 2017-2018 season by the state of Massachusetts. The Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) is seeking bids from qualified vendors to supply flu vaccines for the upcoming season. The required deliverables include providing the necessary quantity of flu vaccines, with specific details on dosage, packaging, and delivery schedules outlined in the Request for Response (RFR) document. Bidders must demonstrate the capability to meet the DPH's requirements for cold chain management, vaccine storage and handling, and timely distribution to various locations across the state. The evaluation criteria include vaccine product specifications, pricing, past performance, and the vendor's ability to fulfill the order within the stated timelines. Bids are due by January 11, 2017, and the contract is expected to be awarded by February 15, 2017.

This opportunity is open to all qualified vendors, and there are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. However, the state of Massachusetts does have a preference for disadvantaged business enterprises (DBEs) and encourages their participation. There is no incumbent vendor listed, and the state does not provide any information about existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The total value of the contract is not specified, but the RFR document indicates a budget range to be determined based on the bids received.
