The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is seeking proposals from qualified small business entities to procure and supply HIV Rapid Test Kits (RTK) for the USAID’s

This procurement is being conducted through full and open competition among small business entities for which the procedures described in FAR PART 15 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation

U.S. USAID encourages proposals from potential new partners. The successful offeror must have or establish its management office for this indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract in the Washington, DC Metropolitan Area.

USAID anticipates the award of one Single Award Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity contract

(IDIQ) to a qualified small business for a five (5) year ordering period. The maximum ordering limitation of the contract resulting from this RFP will be $300,000,000; the maximum aggregate dollar value of task orders awarded to the successful contractor cannot exceed this contract ceiling. USAID also anticipates the award of one initial Task Order as a result of this solicitation as further described in Section L.

Offerors should take into account the expected delivery time required so that proposals are received in USAID by the deadline listed above. Failure to comply with these instructions will deem any submission unacceptable and it will not be reviewed or evaluated.

Only hard copies associated with electronic copies (CDs) will be accepted; faxed copies or emails containing attachments are not acceptable, nor will they be reviewed or evaluated. Section M states the criteria by which proposals will be evaluated. Oral explanations or instructions given before award of the contract will not be binding.

Finally, this RFP in no way obligates USAID to award a contract nor does it commit USAID to pay any cost incurred in the preparation and submission of a proposal. Award of a Contract under this
