Opportunity Summary:
The USAID/Uganda Systems Strengthening and Health Commodities grant opportunity is a five-year funding solicitation issued by USAID Uganda to support an activity focused on strengthening systems related to health commodities. In practical terms, this type of activity generally centers on improving how essential medicines and health supplies are planned, procured, distributed, tracked, and managed so they are available when and where they are needed. USAID is seeking applications to implement this work through a Cooperative Agreement, which usually means the recipient will carry out the program while USAID remains substantially involved through collaboration, oversight, and technical engagement during implementation.
The solicitation is a discretionary funding opportunity under the health sector, authorized under the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (as amended). USAID indicates an intention to provide up to $30,000,000 total over the five-year period, but that amount is explicitly subject to the availability of funds. The award ceiling is listed as $30,000,000 and the award floor is $0, signaling that USAID retains flexibility on final funding levels, including the option not to make an award if proposals do not meet expectations or if funding is constrained. While USAID expects one award to result from the competition, it also notes that more than one award may be made, and it reserves the right to fund any or none of the applications received.
Eligibility is deliberately broad. This is described as a full and open competition, meaning essentially any type of organization may compete, including large or small entities, commercial (for-profit) firms, faith-based organizations, and nonprofit organizations. USAID also allows applications from partnerships or consortia, which can be important for complex health supply chain or systems-strengthening work that benefits from combining technical expertise, local presence, and operational capacity. The competition framework is aligned with the Federal Grants and Cooperative Agreement Act, emphasizing competitive selection to identify the strongest applications to meet the program objectives.
