6 R_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) document from the U.S. Department of State for a contract extension with Rwanda Medical Supply Ltd (RMS).

The Department of State seeks approval to extend Task Order 6 under the Transforming Rwanda Medical Supply Chain (TRMS) Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract (No. 720-696-21-D-00001) with RMS, a Government of Rwanda commercial parastal. The extension involves two modifications: (1) extending the period of performance from July 27, 2026, to September 30, 2026, and (2) increasing the ceiling from $2,034,227 to $2,234,227. The estimated value for the entire period of performance is $2,234,227, which remains within the overall IDIQ TEC ceiling of $89,000,000. The contracting activity is the Department of State's Acquisition Management function under the Bureau of Global Acquisitions. Under this task order, RMS places orders for lifesaving HIV/AIDS and Malaria commodities aligned with the America First Global Health Strategy. The justification cites FAR 6.103-1 (only one responsible source) as the authority for this non-competitive action. RMS is identified as the only organization in Rwanda with demonstrated procurement, importation, warehousing, and distribution capabilities for PEPFAR program commodities meeting State quality requirements. The contractor has successfully delivered all base year commodities, maintained 100% monthly reporting compliance, and delivered strategic deliverables on time. The extension is deemed critical to prevent disruption of lifesaving services and avoid gaps in HIV and malaria commodity availability during the transition period from USAID to Department of State management. No synopsis was published per FAR 5.202(a)(11), and no competition was solicited due to the time-sensitive nature and direct connection to ongoing services.
