2.0 AMERICAN
RECOVERY AND REINVESTMENT ACT OF 2009
Work
performed under this Agreement will be funded, in whole or in part, with funds
appropriated by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Pub. L.
111-5, (Recovery Act or Act). The Recovery Act's purposes are to
stimulate the economy and to create and retain jobs. The Act gives
preference to activities that can be started and completed expeditiously,
including a goal of using at least 50 percent of the funds made available by it
for activities that can be initiated not later than June 17, 2009.
Be
advised that Recovery Act funds can be used in conjunction with other funding as
necessary to complete projects, but tracking and reporting must be separate to
meet the reporting requirements of the Recovery Act and related
Guidance. For projects funded by sources other than the Recovery Act,
SUBCONTRACTOR should plan to keep separate records for Recovery Act funds and to
ensure those records comply with the requirements of the Act.
The
Government has not fully developed the implementing instructions of the Recovery
Act, particularly concerning the how and where for the new reporting
requirements. The SUBCONTRACTOR will be provided these details as
they become available. The SUBCONTRACTOR must comply with all
requirements of the Act. If the SUBCONTRACTOR believes there is any
inconsistency between ARRA requirements and current subcontract requirements,
the issues will be referred to the Procurement Representative for
reconciliation.

Be
advised that special provisions may apply to projects funded by the Act relating
to:
·
|
Reporting,
tracking and segregation of incurred
costs;
|
·
|
Reporting
on job creation and preservation;
|
·
|
Publication
of information on the Internet;
|
·
|
Protecting
whistleblowers; and
|
·
|
Requiring
prompt referral of evidence of a false claim to the inspector
general.
|
For
purposes of this clause, "Covered Funds" means funds expended or obligated from
appropriations under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Pub. L.
111-5. Covered Funds will have special accounting codes and will be
identified as Recovery Act funds in the subcontract and/or modification using
Recovery Act funds.
Non-Federal
employer means any employer with respect to Covered Funds — the CONTRACTOR or
SUBCONTRACTOR, as the case may be, if the CONTRACTOR or SUBCONTRACTOR is an
employer; and any professional membership organization, certification of other
professional body, any agent or licensee of the Federal government, or any
person acting directly or indirectly in the interest of an employer receiving
Covered Funds; or with respect to Covered Funds received by a State or local
government, the State or local government receiving the funds and any CONTRACTOR
or SUBCONTRACTOR receiving the funds and any CONTRACTOR or SUBCONTRACTOR of the
State or local government; and does not mean any department, agency, or other
entity of the federal government.
Subcontractors
must include this clause in every lower-tier subcontract over $25,000 that is
funded, in whole or in part, by the Recovery Act unless the subcontract is with
an individual.
C.
|
Segregation
and Payment of Costs
|
SUBCONTRACTOR
must segregate the obligations and expenditures related to funding under the
Recovery Act. Financial and accounting systems should be revised as
necessary to segregate, track and maintain these funds apart and separate from
other revenue streams. No part of the funds from the Recovery Act
shall be commingled with any other funds or used for a purpose other than that
of making payments for costs allowable for Recovery Act
projects. Recovery Act funds can be used in conjunction with other
funding as necessary to complete projects, but tracking and reporting must be
separate to meet the reporting requirements of the Recovery Act and OMB
Guidance.
Invoices
must clearly indicate the portion of the requested payment that is for work
funded by the Recovery Act.

SCHEDULE/FUNDING
Price
schedules, Task Order ceiling amounts, and funding levels (if applicable) shall
be established for each Task Order issued under this Agreement which shall be
effective for the period of performance identified therein.
5.0 QUALITY
ASSURANCE/INSPECTION
All goods
furnished and services performed pursuant hereto shall be subject to inspection
and testing by SAIC-F at all reasonable times and places during the Agreement
term and in any event prior to Final Acceptance as defined in the individual
Orders. No inspection made prior to Final Acceptance shall relieve
Subcontractor from responsibility for defects or other failure to meet the
requirements of this Agreement. In the event that goods furnished or
services supplied are not in accordance with the individual Order's Statement of
Work or other requirements, SAIC-F may require Subcontractor to promptly
correct, repair, replace or re-perform the goods or services. The
cost of correction, repair, replacement, or re-performance shall be determined
under Section 26 "Legal Construction and Interpretation" of this
Agreement. If Subcontractor fails to proceed with the required
correction, repair, replacement, or re-performance within the period established
by Section 21 "Termination", SAIC-F may terminate the Agreement for
default. If Subcontractor is unable to accomplish the foregoing, then
SAIC-F may procure such materials and services from another source or perform
such services in-house and charge to Subcontractor's account all costs, expenses
and damages associated with the reprocurement. SAIC-F's approval of
designs furnished by Subcontractor shall not relieve Subcontractor of its
obligations hereunder.
6.0 ACCEPTANCE
Acceptance
of deliverables tendered by Subcontractor hereunder shall be made by SAIC-F's
Contractual Representative in writing. Any other form of
communication from other persons or entities shall not be construed as
acceptance under this agreement. Additionally, payment for services
rendered, or deliverables provided, shall not be construed as acceptance by
SAIC-F, nor does it negate or in any way diminish any rights afforded SAIC-F for
remedies as a result of defects or nonconformance, either patent or latent, or
other breach of warranty, or to make any claim for damages of any and all
kind. Notwithstanding instances of nonconformity or noncompliance by
Subcontractor, SAIC-F shall act in good faith to provide written acceptance in a
timely manner and make payments related thereto in accordance with the payment
terms indicated in Section 8.0.

the following: (a) drawings, designs, or specifications; (b) quantity; (c) place

rates or delivery schedule, or both, and shall modify the subcontract

days from the date of such notice from SAIC-F or from the date of any act of
SAIC-F, which Subcontractor considers, constitutes a change. Failure

15.0 ASSIGNMENT
Neither
this Agreement nor any interest herein may be assigned, in whole or in part,

have the right to assign this Agreement to any successor of such party by way of
merger or consolidation or the acquisition of substantially all of the business

liable and responsible to SAIC-F for the performance and observance of all such
obligations.
In the
event SAIC-F's Prime Contract with the Government is succeeded by a successor
contractor selected by the Government, this Agreement may be assigned to the
successor contractor and timely written notice will be provided to

16.0 INSURANCE
REQUIREMENTS
Prior to

Insurance shall 1) certify that the Subcontractor is insured for the period of
performance of this Agreement, 2) shall name "SAIC-Xxxxxxxxx, Inc." as
"Additionally Named Insured" and, 3) shall identify this Agreement by number and
brief description.
If at any
time the period of performance of this Agreement the insurance coverage lapses
or is cancelled, the Subcontractor will immediately notify SAIC-Xxxxxxxxx,
Inc. The below required coverages and their limits in no way lessen

coverages with minimum limits as stated:

virtue of being deemed not of a professional nature, this requirement does
not apply
|

Property Insurance in an amount adequate to replace property, including
supplies covered by this Agreement, of SAIC-F and/or SAIC-F's customer

required insurance coverages above shall be primary and non-contributing with
respect to any other insurance that may be maintained by SAIC-F and
notwithstanding any provision contained herein, Subcontractor, and its
employees, agents, representatives, consultants, subcontractors and suppliers,
are not insured by the SAIC-F, and are not covered under any policy of insurance
that the SAIC-F has obtained or has in place.
Any
self-insured retentions, deductibles and exclusions in coverage in the policies
required under this Article shall be assumed by, for the account of, and at the
sole risk of Subcontractor which provides the insurance and to the extent
applicable shall be paid by Subcontractor. In no event shall the
liability of Subcontractor be limited to the extent of any insurance or the
minimum limits required herein.

If
a decision relating to the Prime Contract is made by the NCI-Frederick
Contracting Officer and such decision is also related to this Agreement,
said decision, if binding upon SAIC-F under the Prime Contract shall in
turn be binding upon SAIC-F and Subcontractor with respect to such matter;

made by the NCI Contracting Officer and SAIC-F elects not to appeal any
such decision, Subcontractor shall have the right reserved to SAIC-F under
the Prime Contract with the Government to prosecute a timely appeal in the
name of SAIC-F, as permitted by the contract or by law, Subcontractor to
bear its own legal and other costs. If SAIC-F elects not to
appeal any such decision, SAIC-F agrees to notify Subcontractor in a
timely fashion after receipt of such decision and to assist Subcontractor
in its prosecution of any such appeal in every reasonable
manner. If SAIC-F elects to appeal any such decision of the NCI
Contracting Officer, SAIC-F agrees to furnish Subcontractor promptly of a
copy of such appeal. Any decision upon appeal, if binding upon
SAIC-F, shall in turn be binding upon Subcontractor. Pending

result of any decision or judgment which is binding upon Subcontractor and

credit to the Government, any amount with respect to any item or matter for
which the SAIC-F has reimbursed or paid Subcontractor, Subcontractor shall, on

the final conclusion of any appeal hereunder, Subcontractor shall, on demand
promptly repay any such amount to SAIC-F. SAIC-F's maximum liability
for any matter connected with or related to this Agreement which was properly
the subject of a claim against the Government under the Prime Contract shall not
exceed the amount of the SAIC-F's recovery from the Government.
Subcontractor
agrees to provide certification that data supporting any claim made by
Subcontractor hereunder is made in good faith and that the supporting data is
accurate and complete to the best of the Subcontractor's knowledge or belief,
all in accordance with the requirements of the Contracts Disputes Act of 1978
(41USC601-613) and implementing regulations. If any claim of

The
following clause(s) are provided in full text as applicable to this BOA
and Task Orders:
|
FAR
52.204-11 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act—Reporting Requirements (Mar
2009).
(a) Definitions. As
used in this clause—
"Contract",
as defined in FAR 2.101, means a mutually binding legal relationship obligating
the seller to furnish the supplies or services (including construction) and the
buyer to pay for them. It includes all types of commitments that
obligate the Government to an expenditure of appropriated funds and that, except
as otherwise authorized, are in writing. In addition to bilateral
instruments, contracts include (but are not limited to) awards and notices of
awards; job orders or task letters issued under
basic ordering agreements;
letter contracts; orders, such as purchase orders, under which the contract
becomes effective by written acceptance or performance; and bilateral contract
modifications. Contracts do not include grants and cooperative
agreements covered by 31 U.S.C. 6301, et seq. For discussion of
various types of contracts, see FAR Part 16.
"First-tier
subcontract" means a subcontract awarded directly by a Federal Government prime
contractor whose contract is funded by the Recovery Act.
"Jobs
created" means an estimate of those new positions created and filled, or
previously existing unfilled positions that are filled, as a result of funding
by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery
Act). This definition covers only prime contractor positions
established in the United States and outlying areas (see definition in FAR
2.101). The number shall be expressed as "full-time equivalent"
(FTE), calculated cumulatively as all hours worked divided by the total number
of hours in a full-time schedule, as defined by the contractor. For
instance, two full-time employees and one part-time employee working half days
would be reported as 2.5 FTE in each calendar quarter.
"Jobs
retained" means an estimate of those previously existing filled positions that
are retained as a result of funding by the American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act of 2009 (Recovery Act). This definition covers only prime
contractor positions established in the United States and outlying areas (see
definition in FAR 2.101). The number shall be expressed as "full-time
equivalent" (FTE), calculated cumulatively as all hours worked divided by the
total number of hours in a full-time schedule, as defined by the
contractor. For instance, two full-time employees and one part-time
employee working half days would be reported as 2.5 FTE in each calendar
quarter.
"Total
compensation" means the cash and noncash dollar value earned by the executive
during the contractor's past fiscal year of the following (for more information
see 17 CFR 229.402(c)(2)):
(1) Salary and
bonus.
(2) Awards of stock, stock options, and
stock appreciation rights. Use the dollar amount recognized
for financial statement reporting purposes with respect to the fiscal year in
accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised
2004) (FAS 123R), Shared Based Payments.
(3) Earnings for services under
non-equity incentive plans. Does not include group life,
health, hospitalization or medical reimbursement plans that do not discriminate
in favor of executives, and are available generally to all salaried
employees.
(4) Change in pension
value. This is the change in present value of defined benefit
and actuarial pension plans.

(5) Above-market
earnings on deferred compensation which is not tax-qualified.
(6) Other
compensation. For example, severance, termination payments,
value of life insurance paid on behalf of the employee, perquisites or property
if the value for the executive exceeds $10,000.
(b) This
contract requires the contractor to provide products and/or services that are
funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery
Act). Section 1512(c) of the Recovery Act requires each contractor to
report on its use of Recovery Act funds under this contract. These
reports will be made available to the public.
(c) Reports
from contractors for all work funded, in whole or in part, by the Recovery Act,
and for which an invoice is submitted prior to June 30, 2009, are due no later
than July 10, 2009. Thereafter, reports shall be submitted no later

LETTERHEAD] - ATTACHMENT 1: STATEMENT OF WORK
BASIC
ORDERING AGREEMENT 10XS020
A. Overview/Background
The Xxxx
and Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Vaccine Research Center (VRC) of the National Institutes of
Allergies and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), at the National Institutes of Health,
was established to facilitate research in vaccine development. The
VRC is dedicated to improving global human health through the rigorous pursuit
of effective vaccines for human diseases. One of the key components
of the VRC mission involves the rapid advancement of promising vaccine
candidates from the laboratory to the clinic. Meeting this mission
necessitates the development of vaccine manufacturing infrastructure that
includes the capacity for cGMP production of materials for Phase I/II clinical
trials.
The VRC
has developed a prime-boost strategy using multiclade DNA plasmid vaccines for
priming vaccinations and recombinant adenoviral vaccines for booster
vaccination. The next step in bringing the VRC vaccines to market
involves producing large quantities of the vaccine for use in clinical
trials. Vaccine Production Program at the VRC is responsible for cGMP
production, pre-clinical safety testing and regulatory submission of VRC
vaccines for clinical trials. To expeditiously meet the critical
program needs of its Clinical Trials Core, the VRC developed a Vaccine Pilot
Plant (VPP) for the manufacture of clinical materials for Phase I/II/III
trials. To date, VRC vaccines have been developed and manufactured by
the Vaccine Production Program through collaborations with companies in the
vaccine/biotechnology industry, via contracts that enable process and assay
development, GMP manufacturing and product release/stability
testing. Such an approach enables the VRC to rapidly respond to
emerging public health threats.
This
Basic Ordering Agreement follows the Contract 21XS073A, between GenVec and SAIC,
Xxxxxxxxx, which was initiated in December 2001. The Task Orders
under the new
Basic Ordering Agreement have been approved by the Dr. Xxxxxxx
Xxxxxxxx; Chief, Vaccine Production Program, Vaccine Research
Center.
B. Description

This
Basic Ordering Agreement between SAIC-Xxxxxxxxx, Inc. and GenVec, Inc.
(Subcontractor) covers the generation and characterization of replication
deficient research grade as well as pre-GMP adenoviral Vector Seed Stocks (VSS)
containing VRC inserts for expressing antigens derived from Human
Immunodeficiency (HIV), Simian Immunodeficiency (SIV) and
Influenza.
This
Basic Ordering Agreement also includes stability testing of currently existing
as well as future Virus Banks, Bulk Vaccine Products and Filled Vaccine Products
for further development of vaccine products to clinical trials. If
necessary, this
Basic Ordering Agreement includes the
*. Additionally, this
Basic Ordering Agreement *. This
Basic Ordering Agreement includes the option, if
necessary,*. Finally, this Basic Ordering Agreement includes work for
developing, refining and enhancing production processes and assays for clinical
manufacturing of adenoviral vector constructs.
The
specific description of the work required from the Subcontractor under this
Basic Ordering Agreement will be covered in the issued Task Orders.

One of
the key requirements of the VRC's adenoviral vaccines is that the adenoviral
vectors be non-replication competent. The production of adenoviral
vectors for use in human vaccines is complicated by the production of
replication-competent adenovirus (RCA) during the manufacturing
process. The production of RCA is problematic for several
reasons. Most importantly, when administered to humans, the presence
of RCA in vaccine preparations causes cytotoxic and immunotoxic
responses. Due to this toxicity, the presence of RCA is undesirable
from a regulatory perspective. Additionally, during the production
process, the RCA outgrows the product of interest, resulting in diminished
production yields and increased manufacturing costs. To overcome the
regulatory and production challenges associated with the use of adenoviral
vector products, it is desired to manufacture the vectors in a cell line that is
incapable of producing RCA. The 293-ORF6 and * in combination with
GenVec's proprietary E1- and E4-deleted adenovector platform essentially
eliminates the risk of generating Replication Competent Adenovirus
(RCA). GenVec has never observed RCA due to homologous recombination
in any of its Research or Clinical vector lots using this system.
GenVec,
Inc. will utilize its proprietary non-replication competent adenoviral vector
technologies, proprietary cell lines and proprietary manufacturing process for
producing non-replication competent adenoviral vectors. GenVec will
utilize its demonstrated expertise in producing adenoviral vector vaccines
containing modified versions of HIV genes and in implementing and maintaining
stability testing programs on adenoviral vector Virus Banks and Bulks and Filled
adenoviral vector vaccine products. Furthermore, GenVec shall provide
as required the following expertise and proprietary resources to complete the
Statement of work:
·
|
GenVec
is the source of proprietary 293-ORF6 cell line, which has demonstrated
safety profiles in the production of non-replication competent adenoviral
vectors for use in human clinical trials. The 293-ORF6 cell
line was prepared under controlled conditions and tested according to US
and International regulatory guidelines. All information on the
derivation and testing of the cell line is in a file held by the US Food
and Drug Administration and is updated
yearly. *. The immortal nature of the 293-ORF6 *
cell lines provide for the production of high quantities of desired
products and meeting the needs of the human clinical trials that the VRC
plans to conduct in the future.
|
·
|
GenVec's
proprietary production process is fully scalable, which allow for ready
transition to larger-scale production. This ability to increase
the size of the production process, without radical changes, will allow
the Vaccine Pilot Plant to manufacture the increased dosage requirements
for Phase III clinical trials.
|
·
|
GenVec
has licensed its proprietary 293-ORF6 Packaging Cell Line and its
proprietary Adenovector Manufacturing Process to the VRC through two
separate licensing agreements with
NIAID. *.
|
·
|
GenVec
has demonstrated expertise in production and release and stability testing
of adenoviral vector vaccines containing modified versions of HIV
genes. These vectors have demonstrated immunogenicity in
non-human primates. Vaccines for use in the prevention of HIV,
produced by GenVec for VRC/NIAID, are currently in VRC's Phase II clinical
trials. Furthermore, additional Phase II clinical trials are
planned in the upcoming months. Assuming these trials yield
successful results, VRC will require the production of additional material
for Phase II/111 trials. Regulatory requirements dictate that
the materials for Phase II/III trials should be produced in the same cell
line used for Phase I trials, otherwise new trials must be
conducted. Switching to another manufacturer and ultimately
another cell line would require a repeat of Phase I trials, thus adding
significant financial costs and delay in the quest to find an effective
vaccine against HIV.
