The purpose of this requirement is to furnish Research-Specific Pathogen-Free Eggs for the production of high-growth reassortant influenza candidate vaccine viruses and live attenuated influenza virus vaccine (LAIV) candidates, and generation of intial egg isolates from original clinical material.The NAICS code for this procurement is 112310, Chicken Egg Production. The vaccine seed candidates must have the antigenic properties of the recommended strain and improved growth properties for more efficient vaccine production. SPF Eggs are produced under strictly isolated conditions to guarantee the absence of all disease agents and antibodies against specified agents, which are laid down in the European Pharmacopoecia and by the USDA. SPF Eggs from Avian Vaccine Services have resulted in the successful production of candidate vaccine viruses in the past and have optimized laboratory protocols. Genetics vary between the chicken flocks that supply SPF eggs. Additionally, variations of the microbiome among supplier flocks are expected. Obtaining genetically distinct SPF eggs from alternate suppliers may lead to changes in the isolation rate and potential quality of resulting isolates. This could risk the ability of the Influenza Division to provide candidate vaccine egg viruses to manufacturers in a timely manner. As a result of this notice, no competitive solicitation will be posted on SAM.gov. The government will issue only one solicitation to Avian Vaccine Services. However, firms that believe they can meet this requirement are encouraged to identify themselves and give written notice by providing a capability statement to the contract specialist, Dawnnia Daley, at xwf5@cdc.gov by December 4, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. ET.
