Opportunity Summary:

The Advancing Community Based Services for Health (ACBSH) Activity is a USAID Mission Liberia funding opportunity designed to support health programming that strengthens and expands community-based health services in Liberia. USAID is inviting organizations to apply to implement this activity, which sits within the health sector and is intended to improve how health services are delivered at the community level. The opportunity is issued by the U.S. Agency for International Development under its overseas foreign assistance authority (CFDA 98.001, USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas), signaling that the activity is part of USAID's broader international development and health support portfolio.

This opportunity is offered as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement, which typically means USAID expects to have substantial involvement in the program during implementation (for example, collaborating on technical direction, reviewing key deliverables, and participating in planning and monitoring). USAID anticipates making one award under this solicitation, so the competition is structured to select a single implementing partner to lead the activity. The total estimated funding for the award is $24,800,000, and the ceiling is also $24,800,000, indicating USAID is prepared to fund one project up to that full amount depending on the final negotiated scope, budget, and application quality.

A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning applicants are expected to contribute some portion of resources toward the activity, as defined in the full solicitation details. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any clarifications that may appear in the solicitation's eligibility section. In practice, this indicates a broad applicant pool could potentially compete, including non-profit organizations, for-profit firms, educational institutions, and other qualified entities, assuming they meet USAID requirements and any specific eligibility conditions described in the complete announcement.

The funding opportunity number is SOL 669 13 000056, and the official title is "Advancing Community Based Services for Health Activity." The opportunity was posted on May 22, 2014, with a creation date of June 30, 2014. The original closing date was June 27, 2014, but USAID extended the deadline; the current closing date listed is July 9, 2014. The notice also specifies an extension of the closing date for receipt of applications from July 7, 2014 to July 9, 2014, clarifying the final submission deadline that applicants needed to follow.

For applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, USAID provided a point of contact: Ruth Caesar Hne, Acquisition and Assistance Specialist at OAA Liberia, reachable by phone at 0776 734 685. This contact detail suggests USAID anticipated that some prospective applicants might need assistance obtaining the complete solicitation package or resolving access issues prior to submission.
