The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), contemplates awarding, on a sole source basis, a firm-fixed price contract in accordance with FAR Part 15 for the storage and rotation of Pfizer's pediatric vaccines in a stockpile in support of the Vaccine for Children Program (VFC). CDC has purchased vaccines under a separate supply contract or delivery order, and the Contractor shall provide storage of the same at Contractor furnished sites. Justification for other than full an open competition is considered to be in the Government's best interest because Pfizer is the only company with the full capacity to store and rotate the vaccines that Pfizer manufacturers. The rotation aspect of this requirement is what makes this procurement a sole source for the vaccine Manufacturer.

The statutory authority permitting other-than-full-and-open competition is 41 U.S.C., 253(c)(1): FAR 6.302-1 only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy the agency requirement.

Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract will be based on responses to this notice and is solely within the discretion of the government. 

Additional quantities of vaccines acquired under preceding or succeeding separate supply contracts or delivery orders may be added to the stockpile by modification to this contract. Material will be held at the contractor furnished storage site for subsequent delivery as required by the contract. The storage site shall be located at one or more domestic facility (i.e.) that is/are controlled by the Contractor. The Contractor shall only store the product in filled, labeled, ready-to-use containers in the stockpile.
