The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) awarded a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to provide Comprehensive Technical Assistance for Health Supply Chain and Pharmaceutical Management. The $2.2 billion IDC has a 10-year period of performance through January 2034 and is designed to strengthen health systems and ensure sustainable access to safe, effective, and affordable health commodities in developing countries. The prime contractor, Management Sciences for Health, Inc. (MSH), is a non-profit organization with extensive experience implementing global health programs for USAID.
Under this IDC, MSH was awarded a $19.47 million cost-plus-fixed-fee task order for the "Efficient Supply Chains Advance Patient Engagement (ESCAPE) Activity" in Cameroon. The ESCAPE task order, which does not have a set-aside designation, aims to develop local capacity for supply chain and pharmaceutical management while transitioning governments to rely more on private sector operational support. This aligns with the broader objectives of the Comprehensive TA program to strengthen health systems and improve access to essential medicines and health commodities in resource-constrained settings.
