Introduction

Countries receiving U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) funds face complex challenges and unique opportunities. Trends such as rapid population growth, changing demographics, increasing prevalence of non-communicable diseases, continued high incidence of infectious disease, and changing public health priorities and business models are challenges that must be recognized and resolved. To address these challenges, USAID has awarded Guidehouse, formerly PwC Public Sector LLP, an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract (IDIQ AID-OAA-I-15-00032) to provide Technical Assistance designed to strengthen country supply systems and enhance strategic collaboration. The multiple award IDIQ, capped at $500M, with an ordering period of 5 years may be used by Missions for a wide range of activities in partner countries: from strategic planning to capacity building.
