The following articles are revised as follows:




ARTICLE II: TERM is amended to add the following:



The period of performance of Option 1 of this agreements starts on date of award and ends on 31
January 2008.




ARTICLE III: STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES is revised to incorporate the following tasks for Option 1:




I. Background



The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is committed to using cutting edge technologies and
scientific talent in its quest to make America safer. DHS’s Directorate of Science and Technology
(S&T) is tasked with researching and organizing the scientific, engineering, and technological
resources of the United States and leveraging these existing resources into technological tools to
help protect the homeland. In support of this effort, the DHS S&T Plum Island Animal Disease
Center (PIADC) in Long Island, NY, is a unique research facility and critical national asset
conducting research on diseases of livestock to protect America from terrorists threats directed
against agriculture from the intentional introduction of diseases. As defined in Homeland Security
Presidential Directive-7 (HSPD-7) and HSPD-9, the Secretary of Homeland Security is responsible for
coordinating the overall national effort to enhance the protection of the critical infrastructure
and key resources of the United States, including the defense of agriculture and food. To fulfill
these requirements, DHS S&T supports programs at PIADC to strengthen the nation’s ability to
predict and respond to the incursion of a foreign animal disease.



DHS
S&T requires scientific, vaccine development and regulatory services from
GenVec, Inc. (GenVec), GenVec is a non-traditional contractor that has core competencies in patent
protected technology platforms for replication-defective recombinant adenovirus serotype 5(rAd5)
based-vaccines and therapeutic product candidates. GenVec’s technology has been successfully
applied to discovery, pre-clinical, and clinical (Phase I-II) trials for human vaccines. GenVec
also has experience in Ad5 production (scale-up and downstream processing) with an integrated QA
program.



GenVec has held a historical contractual scientific relationship with the USDA ARS on a
Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus (FMDV) countermeasure R&D program. Specifically, USDA and GenVec
entered into Specific Cooperative Agreements (SCAs) in 2004-2005 and 2005-2006 to use reasonable
commercial efforts to construct, produce and test a rAd5 based vector containing FMDV serotype
empty capsids as part of a Plum Island FMD vaccine and immunomodulator program. These SCAs were
funded through DHS-USDA interagency agreements and DHS S&T scientists have been involved in the
testing and evaluation of several rAd5 based vaccine vectors since 2005. In addition, USDA and
GenVec have been interacting through a Collaborative Research and Development

Agreement (CRADA) since 2004. The objective of the CRADA is to jointly construct and test GenVec
Advectors expressing FMD genes and livestock cytokines, and to identify Advectors and complementing
cell lines that have the potential to serve as a viral-vectored platform for a new generation of
FMD vaccines. DHS S&T scientists have participated in the USDA-GenVec CRADA since 2004 through a
DHS-USDA ARS interagency agreement on the joint research and development of FMD countermeasures,
such as FMD vaccines and biological immunomodulators.



Based on the successful technical outcome to date of the base year contract agreement (awarded 1
February 2007) and the initiation and acceleration of pre-product development activities at GenVec
(originally targeted for option year 1) that has resulted in the acceleration of lead FMD vaccine
material for testing, DHS would like to move forward with GenVec and exercise option year 1 to
allow uninterrupted continuation and development of the lead FMD vaccine candidate for eventual
licensing by USDA Center for Veterinary Biologics. These products would be made available for
potential manufacture and procurement by the USDA National Center for Animal Health Emergency
Management National Veterinary Stockpile to help accomplish critical mission objectives with regard
to live FMDV and vaccine countermeasures against high consequence Foreign Animal Diseases such as
those caused by FMDV.
