About this opportunity

The Department of State Office of Acquisition Management has awarded a modification to contract 720-696-25-F-00001 with Rwanda Medical Supply Ltd. on a sole-source basis, increasing the ceiling from $8,637,812 to $15,637,812 and extending the period of performance through September 30, 2026.

The justification cites FAR 6.302-1 (only one responsible source). Rwanda Medical Supply Ltd. is the Government of Rwanda's mandated commercial parastatal for commodity procurement and holds unique capability to procure and deliver malaria, HIV, TB, and reproductive health commodities at the required scope and scale. The extension ensures continuity of life-saving services as the program transitions from USAID to Department of State mechanisms and completes contract closeout. Market research determined that alternative suppliers, including Bureau des Formations Medicales Agreees du Rwanda (BUFMAR), lack the capacity and relevant experience to meet agency requirements. Introducing a new provider during this transition period would disrupt HIV services, compromise continuity of care, and create data security risks. The extension remains within the overall IDIQ master contract (720-696-21-D-00001) total estimated cost of $89 million. The Contracting Officer certified anticipated costs as fair and reasonable based on independent government cost estimates using current market rates and historical pricing data. No public synopsis was posted due to the critical and time-sensitive nature of the requirement. Place of performance is Rwanda.
