To meet the critical global health challenges of today\u2019s world, the USAID Procurement and Supply Management Project (PSM) will transform global and national supply chains for essential health commodities into a supply chain that serves all people in need. In addition to optimizing supply chains, PSM applies a holistic approach to strengthening in-country supply chain systems and fosters collaboration among supply chain stakeholders worldwide. Today\u2019s launch follows the denial by the Government Accountability Office of the protest of the award to Chemonics in April, 2015, and the lifting of the related stop work order.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe respect the integrity of the Federal procurement process and are pleased with the ruling by the Government Accountability Office (GAO),\u201d said Chemonics President and CEO Susanna Mudge. \u201cWe are looking forward to the opportunity to contribute to this important work.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Procurement and Supply Management (PSM) Project is a single award indefinite delivery\/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract for health commodities and technical assistance. With the potential to reach more than 50 partner countries, this project will build on USAID\u2019s previous work by harnessing new technologies, existing and emerging supply chain infrastructure, and exciting advances in high\u2010quality medicines and health products to combat HIV\/AIDS and malaria, and support reproductive and family health.<\/p>\n
