PART Ill; SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION 4: Provide a more detailed description and explain the need for the goods, services or grant to supplement the response in Part |. : This fulfills the obligation as outlined in Public Law 595-to purchase and distribute vaccines to Provider offices enrolled in the Maine Immunization Program to administer vaccines to all children in the State of Maine with no out-of-pocket cost to the parent or guardian. The purchase of this vaccine with the collected assessments funds from the health insurance organizations completed the intent to have Maine be a Universal Distribution State. :2.: Provide.a brief justification for.the selected: vendor to supplement the response in Part ll.-Reference the RFP number, if applicable. : The Program has concluded that there is no other contract or purchasing mechanism that is more cost- efficient than purchasing through the Federal CDC Vaccine contracts. Contract prices are those for the Federal CDC vaccine contracts that are established for the purchase of vaccines by immunization programs that receive Federal CDC immunization grants funds (i.e., State health departments, certain large city immunization projects, and certain current and former U.S. territories) Language supporting the Maine Immunization Program to purchase off the Federal Contract: "The CDC Vaccine Price Lists posted on this website provide current vaccine contract prices and list the private sector vaccine prices for general information. Contract prices are those for CDC vaccine contracts that are established for the purchase of vaccines by immunization programs that receive CDC immunization grant funds (ie., State health departments, certain large city immunization projects, and certain current and former U.S. territories). Private providers and private citizens cannot directly purchase vaccines through CDC contracts. Private sector prices are those reported by vaccine manufacturers annually to CDC. All questions regarding the private sector prices should be directed to the manufacturers." http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/programs/vic/awardees/vaccine-management/price-list/index.htm| 3. Explain how the negotiated costs or rates are fair and reasonable; or how the funding was.allocated to grantee. : : Maine Public Law 595 Universal Childhood Immunization Program, 22M.R.S.A 1066 (section 3 E 1) reference Vaccines recommended by the advisory committee that are available under contract with the United States Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention." The Federal CDC has negotiated the vaccine cost on behalf of the Immunization Programs across the nation. Being a State-run immunization program, this allows the Maine immunization Program to purchase vaccines off this contract. Purchasing vaccines on the Federal Contract saves an average of 68% over purchasing the vaccine privately. :4. Describe the plan for future competition for the goods or services. Future opportunities for competition would be negotiated at the Federal level. These negotiations are completed annually for an effective start date each April 1st.
