Full Description

The United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR), Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) contemplates, in the future, making single or multiple awards of contracts or other transactional authority arrangements to develop universal influenza vaccine candidates towards FDA licensure. Universal influenza vaccines are needed to improve pandemic preparedness and to better protect the public against seasonal influenza, which is still a significant public health concern. BARDA's goal is to develop influenza vaccines that are more effective than currently licensed vaccines, with a vision towards a truly universal influenza vaccine that elicits long-lasting broad spectrum protective immunity in humans against the widest range of antigenically divergent influenza strains within and across subtypes. *** In accordance with FAR Part 15.201, Exchanges with Industry before Receipt of Proposals, BARDA is posting this pre-solicitation notice and draft Request for Proposals (RFP) in order to solicit feedback on the contents of that draft RFP. BARDA is not soliciting proposals at this time.
