Opportunity Summary:
The Long Lasting Insecticide Treated Nets (LLINs) RFA is a USAID discretionary funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number M-OAA-GH-09-847) focused on expanding and strengthening malaria prevention through the distribution and effective use of long lasting insecticide treated mosquito nets. It is designed to support USAID's Foreign Assistance Framework under the "Investing in People" objective within the Health Program Area, and it specifically targets the Malaria Program Element and Sub-Element 3.1.3.2, which centers on insecticide treated nets as a key intervention to prevent malaria.
This opportunity is structured as a competitively awarded Cooperative Agreement with an anticipated five-year period of performance starting in Fiscal Year 2009. Because it is a cooperative agreement, USAID would expect to have substantial involvement in the implementation and oversight of the program compared with a standard grant. The award is intended to build on and complement prior and ongoing United States Government investments in malaria control, including work conducted under the President's Malaria Initiative (PMI) and the NetMark Project, along with contributions from other partners in the malaria and public health space. In practical terms, that framing signals that the successful applicant would likely be expected to coordinate with existing malaria supply chains, country strategies, and partner activities rather than starting from scratch.
Funding for the activity is expected to come from a blend of core and field support resources, and the agreement is authorized to accept multiple types of USAID funding as long as those funds are used in ways that stay within the scope of the award and align with USAID malaria control objectives. While PMI-designated priority countries are anticipated to be a major source of mission-level buy-in and funding, USAID makes clear that participation is not limited to PMI countries. Any USAID operating unit, including field missions and bureaus that manage malaria control programs, is encouraged to engage with and support the activity, which suggests the award is meant to function as a broad, multi-country platform that missions can leverage as needs arise.
The opportunity is open to essentially unrestricted eligibility, meaning any type of entity may apply, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that would have been provided in the full announcement. The listing indicates that cost sharing or matching is required, so applicants would be expected to contribute non-federal resources or secure partner contributions according to the terms laid out in the full solicitation. The award ceiling is listed at $100,000,000, with an award floor of $0, which typically indicates that the final award amount could vary widely depending on available funding, mission participation, and the final negotiated scope.
Key timeline details include a posted date of April 8, 2009, and a closing date of May 28, 2009, with the opportunity later archived on June 27, 2009. The funding activity category is Health, reflecting its role in malaria prevention and public health outcomes. For access issues related to the full announcement, the contact listed is Contracting Officer Jamie Alissa Beck at 202-712-1427, with an email address referenced but not fully displayed in the provided text.
