J&a EPP 720621D00001 (IDIQ)

The Department of State Office of Acquisition Management has awarded contract 720621D00001, a sole-source IDIQ for expedited procurement of HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and treatment procedures, on July 24, 2026, under the Expedited Acquisition and Assistance Procedures (EPP) authority.

The justification rests on mission-critical continuity of operations. The award extends performance of three active task orders (Task Orders 6, 9, and 10) under the Transforming Rwanda Medical Supply Chain (TRMS) IDIQ through August 30, 2027, procuring and delivering essential HIV and malaria medical commodities to Rwanda. The Contracting Officer determined that introducing a new provider would disrupt lifesaving health services, undermine care continuity, create data security risks, and that the complexity of requirements made it impracticable to solicit other vendors. Without these commodities, the U.S. Government cannot maintain mission continuity and faces unacceptable mission risk.

The extension proceeds without increasing the overall contract ceiling. Statutory authorities cited are AIDAR 706.302-70(b)(3) and 40 U.S.C. 113, valid through December 31, 2029. The Contracting Officer approved the J&A on July 24, 2026, with General Counsel clearance and USAID Administrator authorization dated December 14, 2024. The Contracting Officer determined anticipated costs will be fair and reasonable based on the unique operational challenges in Rwanda and the absence of authorized competition. Place of performance is Rwanda.
