Global Health Supply Chain - Rapid Test Kits (GHSC-RTK)

The Global Health Supply Chain - Rapid Test Kits TO (GHSC- RTKs) serves as the singular means of procuring HIV RTKs within the GHSC Program.

The GHSC was designed to provide supply chain technical assistance as well as commodity procurement for the Bureau of Global Health, regardless of the commodity type.

As the primary diagnostic tool for determining HIV/AIDS status and the gateway for care and treatment of HIV positive people, RTKs play a vital role in combatting the global HIV/AIDS epidemic. Without an adequate and timely supply of quality RTKs, HIV/AIDS programs cannot function.

Thus Remote Medical International (RMI) will play a vital role in supporting the USGs goal of achieving an AIDS-free generation in our lifetime.

The primary objective of this Contract is to ensure the availability of approved HIV Rapid Test Kits (RTKs) using a global procurement strategy.

An RTK is defined as an assay for the diagnosis of infection with HIV-1/2 or type specific diagnosis of HIV-1 and HIV-2, from which test results can be read directly, within 30 minutes of the time the specimen is applied to the device, without calibration or calculations.

The USAID Global Health Supply Chain - Rapid Test Kits (GHSC- RTKs) project will have the responsibility for the procurement and shipment of HIV rapid test kits (RTKs) to designated destinations and stakeholders for use in host country HIV and AIDS programs. Other procurement and supply chain-related services will be provided by other contracts within the GHSC Program.

This TO is a small business set aside.
