The term ""manufacturer"" means any 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.

Excise Tax: $0.75 per dose Ordering period: One year from date of award The Vaccine for Children (VFC) program, established pursuant to Section 13631 of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 (OBRA �93), guarantees federal support for the purchase and supply of sufficient quantities of vaccine to the States to cover a defined group of children. The program helps assure the implementation of effective immunization practices and proper use of vaccines to achieve higher immunization coverage. Children (18 years-of-age or younger) who qualify for immunization through the VFC purchase program include those who are (1) Medicaid-eligible, (2) without health insurance, (3) American Indian/Alaska native (as defined in Subsection (h)(3) of the OBRA �93), or (4) children with health insurance, which does not cover the cost of vaccines, if they receive their immunizations at a Federally-qualified health center or rural health clinic (as defined by the Social Security Act). Health care providers who agree to certain requirements are eligible through the States to receive free vaccine through this VFC purchase program. The Section 317 program, as established under Section 317(j) of the Public Health Service Act, provides funds to obtain vaccines at prices below those available in the commercial market place. These funds provide vaccines for state and local health departments to use in populations at greatest risk for under vaccination and disease. The program helps assure the implementation of effective immunization practices and proper use of vaccines to achieve higher immunization coverage. The establishment of these contracts provides an opportunity to utilize VFC funds and Section 317 vaccine purchase funds. The vaccines awarded under these contracts will be purchased for the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Disease�s (NCIRD�s) immunization awardees (the fifty state health departments, several large city programs, and current and former U.S. territories) to support pediatric immunization programs. In addition, awardees may opt to purchase additional quantities of vaccine for children under any resulting contract using state and local funds. Vaccines under this contract will be ordered through delivery orders in the Vaccine Tracking System (VTrckS). Orders shall be placed by CDC on behalf of eligible awardees, or by the awardees themselves. Contractors are required to interface with VTrckS. If unable to interface at the time of award, the vendor shall complete interface implementation no later than 3 months after contract award. For refrigerated and frozen vaccines, the Contractor shall be required to deliver vaccines F.O.B. destination, as directed by delivery orders, to the CDC centralized distribution locations currently in Aurora, CO, and Memphis, TN. For ultra-cold vaccines, the contractor shall provide delivery options for (a) the bulk delivery of vaccines F.O.B. destination to the CDC centralized distribution locations currently in Aurora, CO, and Memphis, TN, and (b) drop ship delivery of vaccines F.O.B. destination as directed by delivery orders to provider locations.
