Opportunity Summary:
This USAID/Tanzania grant opportunity, titled "Scale Up of Indoor Residual Spraying (IRS) in Tanzania," was a discretionary health funding solicitation issued as a Request for Applications (RFA) under Funding Opportunity Number USAID TANZANIA 10 002 RFA. The central aim was to support the expansion and delivery of Indoor Residual Spraying (IRS) and related malaria control services across both Mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar, with the broader public health objective of reducing malaria illness and transmission. In practical terms, the solicitation sought a capable implementer to plan and execute large-scale IRS operations and complementary activities tied to malaria prevention and control, aligning with USAID's overseas foreign assistance programming.
The mechanism for funding was a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means USAID expected substantial involvement during implementation, including collaboration on planning, monitoring, and performance management rather than simply providing funds with minimal engagement. The opportunity anticipated a single award, reflecting an intention to select one prime organization to manage and coordinate the program at scale. The estimated total funding was $130,000,000, and notably the award floor and ceiling were both set at $130,000,000, indicating USAID’s expectation of making one award at that specific funding level rather than a range of possible award sizes.
Eligibility was primarily oriented toward organizations able to carry out major public health field operations. The listing specifies eligibility for nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), while the accompanying eligibility notes also indicate that both nonprofit and for-profit entities could apply as long as their application did not include any fee or profit component. This structure effectively opened the door to experienced malaria control implementers, including firms that can run complex logistics and service delivery models, provided they were willing to operate on a no-fee basis under the agreement terms.
Key administrative details show the announcement was posted on November 17, 2009, with an application closing date of December 16, 2009. The opportunity was later archived on January 15, 2010, meaning it is no longer open for submissions and is retained for record purposes. The funding is associated with CFDA number 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas), and the solicitation explicitly stated there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of receiving the award.
USAID/Tanzania, based in Dar es Salaam, served as the issuing agency. The announcement emphasized selecting "responsive and responsible" applicants, signaling that proposals needed to directly address the IRS scale-up objectives and demonstrate operational capacity, compliance readiness, and strong management controls. A point of contact was provided for applicants who could not access the full announcement electronically: Samuel Kiranga, Acquisition Specialist, reachable by phone at 2668503.
