About this opportunity
The Department of State Office of Acquisition Management issued this Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice on January 26, 2026, to extend contract 72065621C00001 with Africa Global Logistics (AGL) for transportation and distribution services supporting the Commodities for Health Guaranteed Access and Reliability (CHEGAR) program and PEPFAR initiatives in Mozambique. Under the authority of AIDAR 706.302-70(b)(3)(ii), the Department of State justified limiting competition based on a formal determination that full and open competition procedures would impair foreign assistance objectives, specifically citing the ongoing transition of HIV programming from USAID to DOS. AGL will continue providing critical logistics services for healthcare commodities, including antiretrovirals, malaria treatments, diagnostics, maternal and child health supplies, and vaccines to health facilities across Mozambique, with emphasis on underserved and hard-to-reach areas. The 20-month contract extension runs from August 1, 2026, through March 31, 2028, succeeding the current contract that expires July 31, 2026. AGL possesses unique qualifications including an established Transport Management System with automated verification, real-time tracking capabilities, trained staff, established relationships with Mozambican health authorities, and functioning compliance systems that would be difficult to replicate. The specific extension value is not disclosed in available unredacted portions of the justification document, though pricing was determined fair and reasonable based on historical cost data from the predecessor Last Mile Supply Chain project and original contract analysis.
Notice text
This acquisition is conducted under the authority of 40 U.S.C. 113, as implemented by AIDAR 706.302-70(b)(3)(ii), and substantiated by the Expedited Procedures Package (EPP).
AIDAR 706.302-70(b)(3) and FAR 6.303-2 allows USAID (now the Department of State) to limit competition when compliance with full and open competition procedures would impair foreign assistance objectives. More specifically, AIDAR 706.302-70(b)(3)(ii) states that full and open competition is not required for: “Awards for countries, regions, projects, or programs for which the Administration of USAID makes a formal written determination with supporting findings (D&F), see Attachment 1 to this J&A, that compliance with full and open competition procedures would impair foreign assistance programs.”
The authority for the D&F under the HIV/AIDS EPP is based on 40 U.S.C. 113(e)(2) and 48 CFR 706.302-70. Tab 1 of the EPP procedures, specifically the D&F, is provided as Attachment 1 to this J&A. The EPP specifically authorizes the use of AIDAR 706.302-70(b)(3)(ii) for contract actions, stating: "You have the authority to extend the EPP under the following: for contracts, Section 706.302-70(b)(3)(ii) of USAID’s Acquisition Regulation (AIDAR), Impairment of Foreign Aid Programs; for assistance awards, ADS Chapter 303.3.6.5, Restrictions to Eligibility; and for the source-and-nationality waiver, Section 228.31 of Title 22 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)."
Awarded contract 72065621C00001 to unknown vendor for unknown amount on 2021-01-08.
