About this opportunity
The Department of State Office of Acquisition Management issued this Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for a 29-month contract extension (April 18, 2026 through September 17, 2028) with Abt Global to continue the Efficiencies for Clinical HIV/AIDS Outcomes (ECHO) project in Mozambique under contract 72065619C00008. The ECHO project delivers comprehensive HIV/AIDS services across four Mozambican provinces (Sofala, Manica, Tete, and Niassa) to 385,569 people living with HIV through 150 health facilities, providing antiretroviral therapy, patient monitoring, opportunistic infection treatment, tuberculosis screening and treatment, and community health worker engagement. The justification for limiting competition to Abt Global is based on AIDAR 706.302-70(b)(3)(ii), which permits sole-source awards when full and open competition would impair foreign assistance objectives; in this case, the ongoing transition of HIV programming from USAID to the Department of State necessitates continuity with the incumbent contractor who possesses the integrated service delivery model, established relationships with Mozambique's health authorities, trained local staff, functioning supply chains, and sensitive patient database management capabilities essential to prevent service disruption. While specific pricing details are redacted, the Contracting Officer determined the anticipated cost is fair and reasonable based on original award pricing analysis and historical pricing data for comparable services. The extension addresses a critical gap created by the April 17, 2026 expiration of the current contract and serves a beneficiary population that includes 250,514 women and 135,055 men living with HIV.
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 72065619C00008 to unknown vendor for unknown amount on 2019-04-18.
