Global Health Multi-Award IQCs
 |
| Source: Ellyn W. Ogden, MPH, USAID |
Welcome to the Web site for multi-award indefinite quantity contracts (IQCs) for USAID's Global Health Bureau. This site is meant to be a place where USAID Missions can access guidelines and supporting documents for developing task orders and scopes of work. Then, in turn, contractors can access these documents, plus resources to aid in their IQC participation.
At current, only the Health Policy Initiative (HPI), Project SEARCH, and Technical Assistance and Support Contract, Three (TASC3) IQCs are part of this Web site. Other Global Health multi-award IQCs will be transitioned into the site as time goes by. To view a list of all USAID global health projects (including single and multi-award IQCs), please go to the Fiscal Year 2008 Users' Guide to USAID/Washington Health Programs.
AIDS Support and Technical Resources
Go to AIDSTAR homepage
The AIDS Support and Technical Resources (AIDSTAR informally) mechanism is an IQC managed out of the Office of HIV/AIDS in USAID’s Bureau for Global Health. AIDSTAR is a flexible mechanism available to U.S. Government (USG) country teams, USAID/Washington operating units, Missions, and other USG agencies to access technical expertise and implementation support across a broad range of HIV/AIDS-related technical areas.
Health Policy Initiative (HPI)
Go to HPI IQC homepage
The HPI project is designed to exercise global leadership and provide field-level programming in health policy development and implementation. Missions may award and manage their own task orders through this mechanism. IQC holders include Abt Associates Inc., Chemonics International, Constella Futures, and RTI International. HPI Task Order One supports core reproductive health/family planning, maternal health, and HIV/AIDS activities in policy dialogue and formulation and is also the mechanism designed to accept field support.
Private Sector Program (PSP)

PSP promotes private and particularly commercial sector strategies to expand access to quality reproductive health/voluntary family planning and other key health products and services in developing countries. PSP can be used to access technical assistance related to interventions involving private providers, nongovernmental organizations, the private commercial sector, faith-based organizations, professional associations, social franchises, and other private for-profit or nonprofit entities. The six IQC holders are Abt Associates Inc.; the Academy for Educational Development (AED); Chemonics International; Constella Futures; John Snow, Inc. (JSI); and University Research Co., LLC.
Project SEARCH
Go to Project SEARCH IQC homepage
Project SEARCH – Supporting Evaluation and Research to Combat HIV/AIDS (SEARCH) – is an IQC awarded to five organizations to support HIV/AIDS research and evaluation in developing countries. Made possible through the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, the goal of the project is to carry out research and evaluation to improve the coverage, quality, and effectiveness of HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and treatment programs worldwide, and to strengthen local capacity in HIV/AIDS research and public health evaluations through training and in-country collaborations. The five awardees are Boston University, Constella Futures, Family Health International, Johns Hopkins University, and the Population Council.
