About this opportunity
The Department of State Office of Acquisition Management has awarded a modification to increase the ceiling of IDIQ contract 720-696-21-D-00001 with Rwanda Medical Supply Ltd. on a sole-source basis, effective May 13, 2026.
The justification invokes FAR 6.103-2 (unusual and compelling urgency). The ceiling increase from $89 million to $96 million is necessary to execute Task Order 9, a costed extension expiring September 30, 2026, which procures essential malaria commodities critical to lifesaving health programs and mission continuity. The modification ensures continuity of services and prevents disruption in the provision of quality-assured, life-saving commodities as the program transitions to new mechanisms and the contract completes closeout. Market research confirms Rwanda Medical Stores is the only entity capable of delivering these services at the required scope and scale; the private sector is fragmented and alternative suppliers lack relevant experience. The Contracting Officer determined anticipated costs are fair and reasonable based on market research, historical pricing data, and unique operational challenges of performing in Rwanda's remote environment. The original IDIQ contract was awarded July 27, 2021, with an ordering period that expired July 27, 2025. The document was approved December 19, 2025, by the Secretary for Foreign Assistance, Humanitarian Affairs and Religious Freedom. Future procurements will explore alternative acquisition approaches once the Department of State consolidates institutional capacity and sufficient planning time is available.
