USAID Tuberculosis (TB) Elimination Activity
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Zambia intends to award a new 5-year contract for the "USAID Tuberculosis (TB) Elimination Activity." The main goal of this activity is to improve health outcomes in Zambia by enhancing and maintaining the quality of TB diagnosis, care, and prevention. USAID plans to limit competition to local entities for this contract, citing statutory authority that allows for limiting competition when it would impair or adversely affect foreign aid programs. The activity is intended to contribute to USAID's locally led development initiative by working with and through local organizations to expand access to effective TB prevention, diagnosis, and treatment measures across all ten provinces of Zambia. Specific objectives will be detailed in the forthcoming solicitation. Interested parties should submit any questions or comments to the Contracting Officer, Brian LeCuyer, by November 12, 2024.
This contract opportunity is not set aside for any particular business type. No solicitation package is being issued with this notice, as the activity is still in the design and clearance process. The anticipated award value or budget range was not provided in the pre-solicitation notice. The notice indicates that the activity is intended to reach every person with tuberculosis in Zambia, cure those in need of treatment, prevent new infections, and scale-up innovations in detection, care, and treatment, while fostering local ownership to sustain the TB program in the country.
