Opportunity Summary:
The President's Malaria Initiative (PMI) grant opportunity is a USAID request for applications (RFA 675-13-000001) seeking one implementing partner to carry out the PMI program component within the broader USAID/Guinea Health Program. USAID intends to fund an approximately four-year, performance-based cooperative agreement, meaning the award will be managed with USAID substantial involvement and will include specific performance targets and indicators that the recipient must meet. The total funding available is up to USD 18,428,129, contingent on funds being available and fully obligated through USAID internal processes, and USAID explicitly reserves the right to fund one, more than one, or none of the applications submitted.
The competition is described as full and open, with eligibility broadly available to many organization types, including large or small entities, nonprofit and for-profit organizations, and faith-based organizations, as long as they are eligible under the solicitation terms (including the referenced geographic eligibility code 935). USAID is looking for qualified U.S. and non-U.S. organizations and institutions that can form partnerships or teams (prime and sub relationships) that include Guinean organizations. At the same time, USAID discourages exclusive arrangements that would lock Guinean organizations into a single bidder; the intent is to keep local organizations free to partner in ways that maximize their ability to participate and benefit Guinea. The selected recipient will be responsible for delivering the program objectives and results laid out in the RFA's Section C (Program Description), which is where the technical scope, expected outcomes, and implementation requirements are detailed.
This opportunity is issued under USAID assistance authorities, with the legal basis cited as the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, and it is governed by federal assistance rules applicable to cooperative agreements. A key cost point is that USAID does not pay profit under assistance instruments (per 22 CFR 226.81), even if the recipient is a for-profit entity. However, USAID will reimburse reasonable, allocable, and allowable costs that are directly tied to carrying out the program, including both direct and indirect costs, as long as they follow the appropriate cost principles (for example, OMB Circular A-122 for nonprofits, OMB Circular A-21 for universities, and FAR Part 31 for for-profit organizations). The listing also indicates that cost sharing or matching is required, so applicants should expect to propose and document some level of non-USAID contribution consistent with the RFA instructions.
From an application logistics standpoint, the RFA was distributed through Grants.gov, but submission required both an electronic and a hard-copy delivery by the stated deadline. Applicants were instructed to submit the technical and cost applications as separate volumes, comply with a page limit (no more than 30 pages for the main narrative text, excluding certain front matter and annexes), and keep their proposals valid for at least 120 days. The award decision is described as being made to the responsible applicant offering the greatest value to the U.S. Government based on the stated selection criteria in Section B. The RFA also lays out an order of precedence for resolving inconsistencies across the solicitation documents, giving priority first to Section B (Selection Criteria), then Section A (Application and Submission Instructions), then Section C (Program Description), and finally the cover letter.
Finally, the opportunity provides clear communication channels for questions and submission: applicants could submit questions in writing by a specified cutoff date to be answered via an amendment, and proposals were to be emailed to the named USAID contacts (Salamata Ly and Beatrice M. Conde) and delivered in hard copy to the USAID/Guinea Office of Acquisition and Assistance at the U.S. Embassy address in Conakry. It also emphasizes standard federal grant cautions: issuing the RFA does not guarantee an award, USAID may reject any or all applications, and the U.S. Government will not reimburse costs incurred to prepare or submit an application.
