This federal contract opportunity solicitation seeks transportation services for laboratory specimens in Mozambique. The Adapting and Modifying Optimized Sample Transport Routes for Achieving Impact (AMOSTRA) project aims to provide efficient transportation of viral load, early infant diagnosis, and tuberculosis specimens to support diagnostic testing goals. Specifically, the objectives include increasing access to HIV viral load, early infant diagnosis, and tuberculosis testing; improving turnaround time for diagnostic results; reducing referral costs through effective packaging and transport while ensuring quality; and establishing a platform for reporting, monitoring, and quality improvement of specimen transport. To achieve these objectives, the solicitation will competitively engage private and community transporters to operate a cost-effective specimen referral system expanding access to viral load monitoring, early infant diagnosis, and tuberculosis testing in Mozambique.
