PROGRAM BACKGROUNDOVERVIEWThe U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is the U.S. Government (USG)'s principal implementing agency for international development assistance. Within USAID, the Bureau for Global Health has a broad portfolio that includes a wide array of programs and investments that represent the commitment and determination of the USG to prevent suffering, save lives, and create an environment that encourages development. Supply chain management, procurement of essential health commodities, and providing quality assurance (QA) for these commodities are essential components of the Agency's health portfolio and directly support the Agency's health contribution to the Global Health Initiative (GHI).

PROGRAM DESIGNIn 2015 the Bureau for Global Health issued a comprehensive QA award to FHI 360, the Global Health Supply Chain-Quality Assurance Program (GHSC-QA), which promotes the effectiveness and efficiency of USAID QA services by combining and coordinating QA activities. This contract provides independent, essential, comprehensive QA and quality control services covering the different health elements in the Bureau’s portfolio, including Rapid Test Kits (RTKs).

RTK TESTING AND TA UNDER GHSC-QAUnder GHSC-QA, FHI 360 is charged with establishing an international network of cost-effective laboratory testing facilities with proven capabilities to produce reliable, accurate, and precise testing results for all products within the project’s scope. RTKs are an important group of commodities within the GHSC-QA testing portfolio requiring both routine testing services as well as unique TA activities related to QA for these products. FHI 360 issued this RFQ to solicit quotations from organizations qualified to provided testing and TA for these products and, ultimately, to assure best value for RTK-related QA services provided to the USG.


DESCRIPTION OF THE RFQThe USAID GHSC-QA Program requests responsive quotations to provide the services listed below. All testing services quoted must conform to the GHSC-QA SOP (80 positives / 80 negatives per lot for HIV and 20 positives / 20 negatives per lot for non-HIV) for testing and evaluation of each product. Refer to the Instructions for Offerors section below for instructions on acquiring technical guidance for bidding purposes.

Routine Testing of RTKs:

Provision of RTK testing services including:

HIV RTKs: HIV Rapid, Simple, ELISA, and Western blot evaluated according to the GHSC-QA SOP.

Syphilis RTKs: Evaluated according to the GHSC-QA SOP.

HBV: HBsAg, HBsAb, HBcAb rapid and ELISA tests according to the GHSC-QA SOP.

Cryptococcus: Cryptococcus rapid antigen and/or antibody tests according to the GHSC-QA SOP.

Pregnancy kits: Rapid and ELISA tests according to the GHSC-QA SOP.

The services listed above are key priorities for the program; however, other related services may be required as program needs change. In such cases, the program would address/negotiate any related cost implications with the subcontractor at that time.

TA Services Related to RTKs:

Provision of TA on an as-needed basis in the following areas as directed in writing by FHI 360 and in accordance with USAID GHSC-QA SOPs:

RTK retention storage facility: Provision and management of a dedicated RTK retention storage facility. The proposed facility must meet the following criteria:

o Compliance with host country regulations and WHO guidelines for storage, waste management, and sample destruction;

o Adequate security;

o Temperature and humidity monitoring;

o Acceptable inventory management systems/practices;

o Available refrigerated storage, and;

o Sufficient space to meet program needs.


Analyses and investigations regarding the specific cause of laboratory- and field-related complaints;

Providing expertise related to RTKs and related products in support of program needs;

Review and assessment of product qualification;

Analyses of collective test results from multiple kit evaluations;

Developing capacity-building guidelines;

Purchasing, managing, and developing an expanded inventory of sample panels to support program activities, and;

Assisting with customs clearance for RTK samples and related products.

Based on historical testing levels, the program estimates that testing and TA will be required for approximately 150 lots of RTKs per year, and that the majority of the kits will be HIV RTKs. The volume of testing per quarter has been approximately 40 lots. The retention storage facility quoted should have sufficient space to house retained samples corresponding with these testing levels for approximately two years for at least 400 lots. It would be preferable if additional space could be secured on an as-needed basis, in case testing levels increase.

Quotations must be provided in accordance with the Instructions to Offerors.

INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORSQUOTATION FORMAT AND SUBMISSION PROCEDURE

Technical and Cost Quotations must be submitted as separate files. Both files may be transmitted in the same e-mail; however, each file must be named and clearly labeled to identify the Offeror and quotation type (i.e., FHI 360-TECHNICAL, FHI 360-COST.).

USAID will begin issuing HSPD-12 ―smart card‖ IDs to applicable contracts, using a phased approach. Effective October 27, 2006, USAID will begin issuing new ―smart card‖ IDs to new contractors (and new contractor employees) requiring routine access to USAID controlled facilities and/or access to USAID‘s information systems.

IDs to existing contractors (and existing contractor employees) on October 27, 2007.

In those situations, the existing contractor (or contractor employee) would need to follow the PIV processes described below, and be issued one of the new smart cards.)

Accordingly, before a contractor (including a Personal Services Contract or a contractor employee) may obtain a USAID ID (new or replacement) authorizing him/her routine access to USAID facilities, or logical access to USAID‘s information systems, the individual must provide two forms of identity source documents in original form and a passport size photo. One identity source document must be a valid Federal or state government-issued picture ID. (Overseas foreign nationals must comply with the requirements of the Regional Security Office.)

This includes HSPD-12 procedures established in USAID/Washington and those procedures established by the overseas Regional Security Office.

In the event of inconsistencies between this clause and later issued Agency or government-wide HSPD-12 guidance, the most recent issued guidance must take precedence, unless otherwise instructed by the FHI 360 Contracting Officer.

The contractor is required to include this clause in any subcontract that requires the subcontractor or subcontractor employee to have routine physical access to USAID space or logical access to USAID‘s information systems.

USAID does not tolerate any type of harassment, either sexual or nonsexual, of any employee or applicant for employment.
