- Description
- In accordance with FAR subpart 13.106(b) the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) intends to issue a sole source purchase order to Africare Inc., in the amount of $37,367.00 to maintain a Preceding Birth Technique (PBT) Child Mortality Surveillance System in Benin. CDC believes that Africare, Inc is the only organization that can meet the requirements of the order because they are the primary implementing organization for the child mortality surveillance system in Benin that uses the PBT. Africare staff worked with the Ministry of Health (MOH) staff to pilot-test PBT in October 1999, and since then Africare has successfully introduced PBT into 242 health facilities. In addition, Africare staff has supported PBT implementation by monitoring birth attendants at health facilities, working with Ministry of Health staff at the sub-prefectural level, and entering and analyzing PBT data. Africare?s experience and demonstrated skill in implementing and maintaining PBT, close working relationship with the MOH, and current responsibilities for logistical and managerial support for the Africa Integrated Malaria Initiative project make it the only contractor who can perform the necessary duties. Interested parties who feel that they possess the capabilities to provide this service described above should submit a capabilities statement demonstrating their abilities to provide the service. The information received in response to this notice will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct a competitive procurement. Please send your documentation to Ronnie Francis at the office identified above, by fax (770) 488-2688 or by e-mail to efi8@cdc.gov. Documentation should be received within fifteen (15) days after the date of publication of this synopsis to be considered by CDC. A determination by the CDC not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within discretion on of the government.
