Opportunity

The Agency for International Development (USAID), specifically the USAID M/OAA office, is soliciting proposals for the Comprehensive Technical Assistance for Health Supply Chain and Pharmaceutical Management (Comprehensive TA) award. This mechanism serves as a component of the Next Generation Global Health Supply Chain Suite of Programs, designed to strengthen systems and provide operational support to ensure sustainable access to and appropriate use of safe, effective, quality-assured, and affordable health commodities. The scope involves developing the capacity of local systems, institutions, and individuals to manage supply chains for both USAID-procured commodities and those managed via other donor or national systems.

Services under this requirement include strengthening local pharmaceutical management systems, quality pharmaceutical services, and national regulatory systems. Comprehensive TA supports governments in transitioning from direct operators to stewards of commodity and service security, emphasizing a heavier reliance on the private sector for operational support. This procurement is identified by solicitation number 7200AA21R00009 and is classified under NAICS code 541611 for Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services and PSC code R499 for SUPPORT- PROFESSIONAL: OTHER.

The procurement is designated as an SBP set-aside. Interested parties must submit their responses by the deadline of December 23, 2021. Rita Habib serves as the primary point of contact for this notice, which was first published on October 28, 2021, and last updated on December 20, 2021. The solicitation includes 13 attachments, such as multiple versions of the Cost Price Evaluation Matrix for unrestricted and partial set-aside categories, the amended Request for Proposals, and a Technical Assistance Question and Answer document.
