PART I – THE SCHEDULE
SECTION B – SUPPLIES OR SERVICE AND PRICE / COST
B.1.BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES
In 2004, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued a Material Threat Determination for smallpox, establishing it as a threat to national security. Periodic smallpox outbreaks were common prior to the twentieth century with fatality rates of greater than thirty percent. Smallpox was eliminated as an endemic disease by 1980 following an intensive focused international ring vaccination campaign. The eradication of the disease led the scientific community to reduce the number of laboratories holding live variola virus so that at present the only known repositories of live variola virus are the World Health Organization (WHO) Collaborating Centers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia and the State Center of Virology and Technology (VECTOR) in Novosibirsk, Russian Federation. While variola virus no longer exists in nature, the possibility of preserved, unrecognized samples or clandestine stocks, the potential re-emergence from natural sources, and recent advances in synthetic biology describing the construction of poxvirus genomes de novo, mean the threat of the reemergence of smallpox, although small, still exists.
Although the primary response to smallpox is the development and procurement of vaccines to break the chain of transmission, the Public Health Emergency Medical Countermeasures Enterprise (PHEMCE) quickly recognized that in a smallpox attack many of those exposed to the virus would develop symptoms and become refractory to vaccination. A Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)-led collaboration between epidemiological modelers and subject matter experts resulted in the development of a public health consequence assessment for the number of primary and secondary infections after a deliberate large-scale release of smallpox in an urban setting. After substantial discussion over the refinement of the model, the scenario-based Requirements for Smallpox Antivirals were presented to the PHEMCE Enterprise Executive Committee (EEC) for approval describing a scenario requiring 1.7 million treatment courses of antivirals to mitigate the consequences of a large smallpox attack.
In March 2009, the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) under Project BioShield (PBS) to support the advanced development and procurement of 1.7 million treatment courses of a smallpox antiviral. An award under this solicitation resulted in the FDA approval of the first antiviral for the treatment of smallpox in 2018.
The development of antivirals against smallpox was deemed important and essential in the Institute of Medicine (IoM) report Live Variola Virus, Considerations for Continuing Research with the panel emphasizing the need for the development of multiple countermeasures with distinct mechanisms of action to obviate the potential for the evolution of viral resistance through selective pressure.
Additionally, developments in molecular biology since the Institute of Medicine report have increased the possibility of de novo synthesis of poxviruses genomes, leading to the possible creation of resistant virus and further emphasizing the danger of relying on a single therapeutic countermeasure. PBS funding will support the development and procurement of a second smallpox therapeutic with an alternative mechanism of action to address the potential for the development of resistance to the current stockpile drug.

Require that each Investigator who is participating in the BARDA funded research to submit an updated disclosure of significant financial interests at least annually, in accordance with the specific time period prescribed by the Institution during the period of the award as well as within thirty days of discovering or acquiring a new significant financial interest.
e.Provide guidelines consistent with the regulations for the designated official(s) to determine whether an Investigator's significant financial interest is related to BARDA funded research and, if so related, whether the significant financial interest is a financial conflict of interest. An Investigator's significant financial interest is related to BARDA funded research when the Institution, thorough its designated official(s), reasonably determines that the significant financial interest: Could be affected by the BARDA funded research; or is in an entity whose financial interest could be affected by the research. A financial conflict of interest exists when the Institution, through its designated official(s), reasonably determines that the significant financial interest could directly and significantly affect the design, conduct, or reporting of the BARDA funded research.
f.Take such actions as necessary to manage financial conflicts of interest, including any financial conflicts of a subcontractor Investigator. Management of an identified financial conflict of interest requires development and implementation of a management plan and, if necessary, a retrospective review and mitigation report pursuant to Part 94.5(a).
g.Provide initial and ongoing FCOI reports to the Contracting Officer pursuant to Part 94.5(b).
h.Maintain records relating to all Investigator disclosures of financial interests and the Institution's review of, and response to, such disclosures, and all actions under the Institution's policy or retrospective review, if applicable, for at least 3 years from the date of final payment or, where applicable, for the other time periods specified in 48 CFR Part 4, subpart 4.7, Contract Records Retention.
i.Establish adequate enforcement mechanisms and provide for employee sanctions or other administrative actions to ensure Investigator compliance as appropriate.
j.Complete the certification titled "Certification of Institutional Policy on Financial Conflicts of Interest".

The Contracting Officer will consider the situation and, as necessary, take appropriate action or refer the matter to the Institution for further action, which may include directions to the Institution on how to maintain appropriate objectivity in the BARDA funded research project.

Page 40 of 51
The Contracting Officer and/or HHS may inquire at any time before, during, or after award into any Investigator disclosure of financial interests, and the Institution's review of, and response to, such disclosure, regardless of whether the disclosure resulted in the Institution's determination of a financial conflict of interests. The Contracting Officer may require submission of the records or review them on site. On the basis of this review of records or other information that may be available, the Contracting Officer may decide that a particular financial conflict of interest will bias the objectivity of the BARDA funded research to such an extent that further corrective action is needed or that the Institution has not managed the financial conflict of interest in accordance with Part 94.6(b). The issuance of a Stop Work Order by the Contracting Officer may be necessary until the matter is resolved.
If the Contracting Officer determines that XXXXX funded clinical research, whose purpose is to evaluate the safety or effectiveness of a drug, medical device, or treatment, has been designed, conducted, or reported by an Investigator with a financial conflict of interest that was not managed or reported by the Institution, the Institution shall require the Investigator involved to disclose the financial conflict of interest in each public presentation of the results of the research and to request an addendum to previously published presentations.

The salary rate limitation does not restrict the salary that an organization may pay an individual working under an HHS contract or order; it merely limits the portion of that salary that may be paid with federal funds.
d.The salary rate limitation also applies to individuals under subcontracts.
e.If this is a multiple-year contract or order, it may be subject to unilateral modification by the CO to ensure that an individual is not paid at a rate that exceeds the salary rate limitation provision established in the HHS appropriations act used to fund this contract.
f.See the salaries and wages pay tables on the U.S. Office of Personnel Management website for federal Executive Schedule salary levels.

Contract No. 75A50122C00047 Attachment 7 - Financial Report
INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING FORM "FINANCIAL REPORT OF INDIVIDUAL PROJECT/CONTRACT"
GENERAL INFORMATION
Purpose. This Quarterly Financial Report is designed to: (1) provide a management tool for use by BARDA in monitoring the application of financial and personnel resources to the BARDA contracts; (2) provide contractors with financial and personnel management data which is usable in their management processes; (3) promptly indicate potential areas of contract underruns or overruns by making possible comparisons of actual performance and projections with prior estimates on individual elements of cost and personnel; and (4) obtain contractor's analysis of cause and effect of significant variations between actual and prior estimates of financial and personnel performance.
REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
Scope. The specific cost and personnel elements to be reported shall be established by mutual agreement prior to award. The Government may require the contractor to provide detailed documentation to support any element(s) on one or more financial reports.
Number of Copies and Mailing Address. An original and two (2) copies of the report(s) shall be sent to the contracting officer at the address shown on the face page of the contract, no later than 30 working days after the end of the period reported. However, the contract may provide for one of the copies to be sent directly to the Contracting Officer's Representative.
REPORTING STATISTICS
A modification which extends the period of performance of an existing contract will not require reporting on a separate form, except where it is determined by the contracting officer that separate reporting is necessary. Furthermore, when incrementally funded contracts are involved, each separate allotment is not considered a separate contract entity (only a funding action). Therefore, the statistics under incrementally funded contracts should be reported cumulatively from the inception of the contract through completion.
Definitions and Instructions for Completing Form. For the purpose of establishing expenditure categories in Column A, the following definitions and instructions will be utilized. Each contract will specify the categories to be reported.
(1)Key Personnel. Include key personnel regardless of annual salary rates. All such individuals should be listed by names and job titles on a separate line including those whose salary is not directly charged to the contract but whose effort is directly associated with the contract. The listing must be kept up to date.
(2)Personnel--Other. List as one amount unless otherwise required by the contract.
(3)Fringe Benefits. Include allowances and services provided by the contractor to employees as compensation in addition to regular salaries and wages. If a fringe benefit rate(s) has been established, identify the base, rate, and amount billed for each category. If a rate has not been established, the various fringe benefit costs may be required to be shown separately. Fringe benefits which are included in the indirect cost rate should not be shown here.
(4)Accountable Personal Property. Include nonexpendable personal property with an acquisition cost of
$1,000 or more and with an expected useful life of two or more years, and sensitive items regardless of cost. Form HHS 565, "Report of Accountable Property," must accompany the contractor's public voucher (SF 1034/SF 1035) or this report if not previously submitted. See "Contractor's Guide for Control of Government Property."
(5)Supplies. Include the cost of supplies and material and equipment charged directly to the contract, but excludes the cost of nonexpendable equipment as defined in (4) above.
