WASHINGTON — The U.S. Agency for International Development is gathering input as it looks ahead to the next version of one of its largest projects, a multibillion-dollar effort to deliver health commodities around the world.
In late May, USAID released two requests for information aimed at informing the design of whatever the agency’s global health bureau decides should replace the Global Health Supply Chain Program-Procurement and Supply Management project, a multibillion effort managed by a consortium led by Chemonics International.
How USAID decides to restructure and recompete the project will be closely watched given the size of the contract, its importance to a range of U.S. global health priorities, and the high-profile challenges encountered early on in the project under the current contractor.
