The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has awarded a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to Mana Nutritive Aid Products Incorporated, doing business as Mana Nutrition, a non-profit manufacturer of specialized therapeutic foods. This IDV contract, with a nominal ceiling value of $1, allows USAID to issue multiple task orders for the procurement of Ready to Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF), Ready to Use Supplementary Food (RUSF), and other lipid nutrient supplements.
Through this BPA, Mana Nutrition has consistently provided large quantities of these critical nutrition products, totaling over 30,000 metric tons worth more than $100 million, to support USAID's global humanitarian aid initiatives. The task orders issued under this contract are firm fixed price awards, ranging from 300 to over 900 metric tons per order, with individual values often exceeding $2 million. These therapeutic foods are used to treat severe and moderate acute malnutrition in children during emergencies in countries such as Ethiopia, Nigeria, Sudan, Yemen, Somalia, South Sudan, Chad, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The contract does not have any set-aside designations, and all performance occurs at Mana Nutrition's facility in Matthews, North Carolina.
