Chemonics, the Buyer, acting on behalf of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Global Health Supply Chain Program – Procurement and Supply Management (GHSC-PSM) project, under contract number AID-OAA-I-15-00004 and Task Order No. AID-OAA-15-00007, AID-OAA-15-00010, and AID-OAA-16-00018 is soliciting offers from companies and organizations to submit proposals to participate with GHSC-PSM to provide chartered air transportation services for project health commodities in Haiti.

The purpose of the GHSC-PSM project is to ensure an uninterrupted supply of health commodities in support of U.S. government–funded public health initiatives around the world. The project provides direct procurement and supply-chain management support to the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI), USAID’s Population and Reproductive Health program (PRH), and USAID’s Newborn, Child and Maternal Health (MCH) program. To support U.S. government–funded global health activities, GHSC-PSM manages an array of health commodity procurement services and provides related systems strengthening technical assistance encompassing all elements of a comprehensive supply chain.

The purpose of this acquisition is to seek a company to provide chartered air transportation for the GHSC-PSM project in Haiti for the purpose of transporting project health commodities across the country, as well as transporting up to two project staff as requested on these flights. These include antiretroviral (ARV), opportunistic infection (OI), laboratory, cholera, and family planning commodities – in support of the PEPFAR, PRH, and MCH programs, which the project routinely distributes across Haiti. Due to the continued deterioration of the security situation in country, including gang activities which cause blockages across roads and passageways, the need for an air transportation option for project distributions is becoming increasingly critical. As such, the GHSC-PSM project is seeking chartered air services (whether by airplane or helicopter) to provide a safe and efficient options for commodity transportation on an as-needed basis when the circumstances in country necessitate air transport due to the inability to move product by road.
