Local Regulatory Licensing and Compliance (DRC)

The contract requires the successful bidder to maintain all necessary licenses and authorizations to legally operate as a health insurer or third-party administrator within the Democratic Republic of the Congo, with a specific emphasis on obtaining and sustaining ARCA certification and adhering to all ongoing regulatory requirements. This includes continuous compliance with national health and financial regulations, ensuring that operational frameworks remain aligned with evolving local legal standards to avoid disruption of services. Performance of this contract is centered in Kinshasa, and the work must be executed under the oversight of the U.S. Embassy in Kinshasa, under the Department of State, as a subcontract. The solicitation was posted on June 25, 2026, with a firm response deadline of July 25, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. local time, and falls under NAICS code 541611 for administrative management and general management consulting services. Compliance with local licensing is not optional but foundational, as failure to maintain proper credentials could result in termination of the subcontract and loss of operational authority.
