Opportunity Information: Apply for RFI 720656 2024 LAB SPECIMEN TRANSP
The USAID Laboratory Specimen Transport Activity is a planned USAID/Mozambique initiative meant to strengthen Mozambique's public health laboratory specimen referral and diagnostic network. The core idea is to improve how medical specimens are collected, packaged, and transported from health facilities to reference laboratories, and how test results are delivered back to the originating facilities. USAID signals that the activity is being designed with broad collaboration in mind, bringing together government agencies, donors, private sector actors, and think tanks to help upgrade the end-to-end system for specimen movement and results return.
At this stage, the notice is not a full solicitation for funding but a Request for Information (RFI), meaning USAID is gathering feedback from the market before finalizing the activity design and Scope of Work. USAID is using the RFI to gauge whether organizations are interested in competing for the eventual award, to understand what technical capabilities and operational capacity potential implementers can realistically bring, and to collect ideas that could improve performance, reliability, and coverage of specimen transport and communication of results. Another explicit aim is to surface innovative partnership models, especially approaches that coordinate or integrate with other organizations already working in related areas, so the future activity can complement existing systems rather than duplicate them.
The opportunity is listed under the transportation activity category and is associated with USAID/Mozambique (USAID-Maputo). Eligibility is described as unrestricted, suggesting that a wide range of organizations may provide input to the RFI and potentially compete later, depending on the final solicitation terms. The anticipated implementation period is five years, projected for 2026 through 2030, which indicates USAID is looking for a long-term solution rather than a short pilot. The listing shows no award ceiling and no expected awards specified, which is typical for an RFI because it is used to inform planning and does not commit the agency to funding levels or contract/grant structures yet.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity title "USAID Laboratory Specimen Transport Activity" and the funding opportunity number "RFI 720656 2024 LAB SPECIMEN TRANSP." The CFDA/assistance listing reference is 98.001. The RFI closing date is September 9, 2024, which is the deadline for interested parties to submit comments, capability information, and suggestions that could shape the draft Scope of Work and the overall design of the future activity.Apply for RFI 720656 2024 LAB SPECIMEN TRANSP
