Attachment J.5 Budget Template.xlsx

This document contains a federal contract solicitation and related budget template. The solicitation is for the Adapting and Modifying Optimized Sample Transport Routes for Achieving Impact activity, referred to as AMOSTRA. The primary purpose of AMOSTRA is to provide an effective and efficient transportation system for laboratory specimens including viral load testing for HIV patients, HIV Early Infant Diagnosis, and tuberculosis specimens. This will be managed by a transportation provider under the supervision of the Mozambique National Reference Laboratory and will eventually be transitioned to government management. The activity aims to increase access to diagnostic testing, improve test result turnaround times, reduce specimen referral costs, ensure quality diagnostics, and support national monitoring and coordination of specimen transport. The transportation provider will competitively engage private and community transporters to operate a cost-effective specimen referral system across five objectives over three years in Mozambique. The related budget template provides a three-year summary budget outline for cost categories related to the AMOSTRA activity.
