About AIDSTAR
The AIDS Support and Technical Resources (AIDSTAR informally) mechanism is an indefinite quantity contract (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. AIDSTAR is available to work in both U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief focus and other bilateral countries. AIDSTAR contractors for Sector I have demonstrated technical capacity in a range of technical areas related to prevention, care and support; treatment/antiretroviral therapy and related services; stigma and discrimination; gender; and program-related data collection and analysis. AIDSTAR contractors for Sector II have demonstrated capacity to enhance management capacity skills and leadership of national and sub-national institutions to deliver integrated, sustainable HIV/AIDS services at scale.
AIDSTAR Sector I may be used for:
- Long- or short-term technical assistance and program implementation support in specialized HIV/AIDS technical areas, including behavior change; clinical and community-based HIV/AIDS services; care for orphans and vulnerable children; monitoring and evaluation; and health systems strengthening specific to HIV/AIDS services
- Long- or short-term in-country support for coordination and scale-up for HIV/AIDS activities in support of USG country strategies
- Documenting and disseminating successful innovative approaches and sustainable models; evidence-based best practices and lessons learned; and new approaches, tools, and methodologies in HIV/AIDS programming
