Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Procurement, Logistics Management, Warehousing, and Distribution of HIV/AIDS, TB-Related Commodities, Vaccines, Equipment and Services, and Supply Chain Systems Strengthening in Uganda under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)," is a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperative agreement intended to support Uganda's national response to HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis through a strengthened health supply chain. The award focuses on ensuring that essential commodities and related services reach patients and CDC/PEPFAR-supported health facilities reliably, efficiently, and at the right quantities, while also building longer-term systems and workforce capacity so logistics functions can be sustained and improved over time.
At its core, the program is designed to handle the full cycle of supply chain support for HIV and TB programming in Uganda: quantifying needs, procuring products and services, storing them appropriately, and distributing them to the intended service delivery points. Quantification means translating program targets and consumption patterns into accurate forecasts for medicines, diagnostics, laboratory supplies, vaccines, and other required items, reducing the risk of stockouts or costly overstock and expiries. Procurement then covers purchasing HIV/AIDS- and TB-related commodities, equipment, and services in line with applicable rules and quality expectations, followed by warehousing functions that protect product integrity through proper storage conditions, inventory control, and documentation. Distribution includes organizing transport and delivery to recipient facilities so that products arrive on time and in usable condition, supporting uninterrupted care and treatment.
Beyond moving products, the opportunity explicitly emphasizes technical assistance (TA) for supply chain systems strengthening and capacity building in logistics management. This portion of the work recognizes that commodity availability depends not only on central procurement and warehousing, but also on how well facilities order, receive, store, record, and report stock, and how effectively the broader system uses data for resupply decisions. The awardee is expected to either provide these technical services directly or procure them through contracts, with support targeted to facilities identified by Uganda's Ministry of Health (MOH) and CDC. In practice, this can include strengthening logistics management information systems, improving inventory practices, training staff, standardizing procedures, and reinforcing supervision and performance monitoring, all aimed at making the supply chain more responsive and durable.
Administratively, this is a discretionary health funding opportunity issued by HHS-CDC-CGH under Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA GH16-1665 (CFDA 93.067), using a cooperative agreement mechanism. A cooperative agreement typically means CDC anticipates substantial involvement in the project, such as collaboration on planning, oversight, performance expectations, or alignment with PEPFAR priorities, rather than simply providing funds with minimal ongoing engagement. The opportunity was posted and created on January 4, 2016, with an application closing date of March 7, 2016.
In terms of scale and competition, the notice indicates an award ceiling of $80,000,000 and an expectation of a single award. That combination suggests a large, centralized implementer role responsible for managing a significant portion of commodity and logistics support for CDC/PEPFAR-funded programming in Uganda, with performance likely judged on measurable outcomes such as improved product availability, reduced stockouts, timely distribution, stronger data quality, and better facility-level logistics practices. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility clarification referenced in the full announcement text, which is typical for specialized supply chain awards where CDC may seek applicants with demonstrated technical, operational, and compliance capacity to manage large-scale procurement and distribution functions in a public health context.
