AI Contract Overview
The Advancing HIV & AIDS Epidemic Control (AHEC) Project, managed by the Department of State under solicitation 72066821C00001P00025, is a critical public health initiative focused on maintaining epidemic control in South Sudan. This specific action involves a follow-on ceiling increase for the contract held by IntraHealth International to accommodate the consolidation of the CDC portfolio and the transfer of HIV/AIDS activities from ICAP and CMMB. The primary objective is to ensure the uninterrupted delivery of essential health services and prevent any lapse in foreign assistance programming through September 2028. This acquisition is conducted using other than full and open competition, justified under the authority of 40 U.S.C. 113 and AIDAR 706.302-70(b)(3)(ii). The Department of State is utilizing USAID's Expedited Procedures Package, effective from January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2029, which allows for limited competition when full procedures would impair foreign assistance objectives. This administrative action increases the contract ceiling without extending the existing period of performance, ensuring that critical PEPFAR programming continues effectively within the region.

Full Description
This acquisition is conducted under the authority of 40 U.S.C. 113, as implemented by AIDAR 706.302-
70(b)(3)(ii), and substantiated by the Expedited Procedures Package (EPP). AIDAR 706.302-70(b)(3) and FAR 6.303-2 allows USAID (now the Department of State) to limit competition when compliance with full and open competition procedures would impair foreign assistance objectives. More specifically, AIDAR 706.302-70(b)(3)(ii) states that full and open competition is not required for:
“Awards for countries, regions, projects, or programs for which the Administration of USAID makes a formal written determination with supporting findings (D&F), see Attachment 1 to this J&A, that compliance with full and open competition procedures would impair foreign assistance programs.”
The authority for the D&F under the HIV/AIDS EPP is based on 40 U.S.C. 113(e)(2) and 48 CFR 706.302-70.
Tab 1 of the EPP procedures, specifically the D&F, is provided as Attachment 1 to this J&A.The EPP specifically authorizes the use of AIDAR 706.302-70(b)(3)(ii) for contract actions, stating "You have the authority to extend the EPP under the following: for contracts, Section 706.302-70(b)(3)(ii) of USAID’s Acquisition Regulation (AIDAR), Impairment of Foreign Aid Programs; for assistance awards, ADS Chapter 303.3.6.5, Restrictions to Eligibility; and for the source-and-nationality waiver, Section 228.31 of Title 22 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)."
The current EPP is effective from January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2029, and was approved by the
USAID Administrator. Although the EPP is specific to USAID, a memorandum of understanding between USAID and the Department
of State delegates authority to DOS to carry out applicable PEPFAR programming under USAID procedures and regulations. Accordingly, this justification relies on AIDAR 706.302-70 as the basis for limiting competition, as proceeding with full and open competition at this stage would risk impairing the effective implementation of a critical foreign assistance program
