Opportunity Information: Apply for RFI AID OAA 16 PSS
The Pharmaceutical Systems Strengthening opportunity is a USAID Request for Information (RFI) tied to the agency's upcoming Medicines, Technologies and Pharmaceutical Services (MTaPS) Program, which is described as the successor to the earlier Pharmaceutical Systems Strengthening (PSS) Program. Rather than being a direct call for project proposals or a notice of award funding, this announcement is meant to gather input from interested organizations and to clarify USAID's thinking and expectations as it shapes the next phase of its pharmaceutical and health commodity systems work. In practical terms, it signals that USAID is preparing or refining a future program and wants feedback from the field on priorities, approaches, and implementation considerations.
The notice is issued by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), specifically the Bureau for Global Health, Office of Health Systems. The agency planned to host an Applicants Conference as part of the RFI process, giving potential respondents an opportunity to hear more about the MTaPS program and ask questions directly. Applicants conferences are typically used to explain program goals, reduce confusion about what the agency is seeking, and improve the quality and relevance of responses from the market or partner community.
From the source data, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary and associated with the health sector, with the CFDA listing of 98.001. The funding instrument type is listed as "Other," which is consistent with an RFI because an RFI is not itself a grant or cooperative agreement competition. This is also reflected in the fact that the award ceiling is shown as 0 and the expected number of awards is blank, reinforcing that USAID was not committing funds or selecting awardees through this specific notice. The eligible applicants field is "Unrestricted," which indicates the agency was open to receiving information from any interested party rather than limiting participation to a narrow class of organizations.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity title "Pharmaceutical Systems Strengthening," the funding opportunity number "RFI AID OAA 16 PSS," a creation date of April 15, 2016, and an original closing date of October 10, 2016. Those dates suggest a multi-month window for stakeholders to prepare and submit input and for USAID to engage the community through the applicants conference and related Q and A. Overall, the announcement is best read as an early-stage engagement tool: it invites the global health, supply chain, pharmaceutical policy, and health systems community to help inform the design and rollout of USAID's MTaPS program, which would continue and update the objectives of the former PSS effort focused on strengthening pharmaceutical systems and related services.Apply for RFI AID OAA 16 PSS
