Nairobi Metropolitan Service

Nairobi Metropolitan Service, a foreign government entity headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya, acts as a prime recipient of federal grants from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), with a footprint that includes sub-award participation on related CDC-funded HIV prevention and treatment programs. NMS does not hold federal contracts or seats on federal contract vehicles; all federal transacting is grant-based and routed through CDC's Center for Global Health.

NMS operates a narrow customer base — the Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention accounts for 100% of recent awards — with a single prime grant and three sub-awards from January 2023 through November 2025. The prime award is a Cooperative Agreement (GH22-2262, Sustainable HIV Programming in Nairobi for Epidemic Control, or SHINE Project) running from January 1, 2023 through September 29, 2027, focused on advancing high-quality HIV and tuberculosis service delivery across Nairobi County. Under this award, NMS partners with CDC implementing partners to transition HIV services from donor dependence to country-owned delivery models, providing direct day-to-day management and oversight of over 450 health facilities across Nairobi County. The reported achievement metrics include 86% knowledge of HIV status, 99% treatment coverage, and 93% viral suppression among beneficiaries.

NMS appears in sub-award roles on three related CDC PEPFAR grants awarded to Center for International Health, Education and Biosecurity — Kenya in June 2024, October 2024, and November 2025, all supporting implementation and expansion of comprehensive HIV prevention, care, and treatment programs in Nairobi County. Combined federal dollars obligated across all four awards total $10.9 million. The prime cooperative agreement reaches ultimate completion in September 2027, creating a single recompete opportunity in the next twenty-four months. NMS has no presence in the federal contract space, does not compete on GWACs or other IDVs, and functions exclusively as a recipient organization rather than as a vendor supplying goods or services to federal agencies or contractors.
