Opportunity Information: Apply for 72061519RFI00002
The opportunity titled "RFI - Local Partner Service Delivery Activity (LPSDA) - Integrated HIV Clinical and Orphaned and Vulnerable Children (OVC) Activities" (Funding Opportunity Number 72061519RFI00002) is a Request for Information issued by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), specifically the USAID Kenya/East Africa mission. It sits in the health sector and is focused on gathering input from the market rather than immediately awarding funds. In practice, an RFI is used to collect technical, operational, and organizational feedback that can shape how a future program is designed, competed, and implemented. The public notice points readers to "Attachment 1" for the full RFI details, meaning the core requirements, questions, and submission instructions are contained in that attachment rather than in the short synopsis.
Programmatically, the RFI centers on an integrated service delivery model that combines HIV clinical services with activities for Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC). This integrated framing signals interest in approaches that link facility-based HIV prevention, testing, treatment, and continuity of care with community- and household-level OVC interventions that address vulnerability, child protection, and social support. USAID is essentially indicating that it is exploring how a local partner-led activity could deliver or coordinate both clinical HIV services and OVC programming in a coherent way, rather than treating them as separate vertical efforts. While the synopsis does not list specific interventions, the title strongly implies attention to the clinical cascade (from diagnosis to sustained viral suppression) alongside support services that help children and families manage risks and barriers that affect health outcomes.
From a funding and scale perspective, the notice includes an Award Ceiling of USD 136,000,000 and an expectation of 4 awards. That combination suggests a large, multi-award structure where USAID may be considering dividing geographic coverage, technical scope, or target populations across multiple implementing partners. Even though an RFI is not itself a funding commitment, publishing an estimated ceiling and anticipated number of awards often indicates serious planning for a major procurement or assistance package in the near term, and it gives potential respondents a sense of the magnitude and complexity of what the agency is contemplating.
The opportunity is categorized on the posting as "Other" for both the Opportunity Category and the Funding Instrument Type, and the activity category is Health. The CFDA number listed is 98.001, which is commonly used for USAID foreign assistance listings and is broad rather than program-specific. Eligibility is summarized as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," which typically means the RFI is not limited to a narrow set of applicants and may welcome input from a range of organizations, potentially including local organizations, nongovernmental organizations, consortia, and other entities with relevant implementation experience. Because the synopsis explicitly says to consult the attachment for eligibility clarification, the definitive guidance on who USAID wants to hear from, and in what capacity, would be contained there.
The timeline shown in the synopsis indicates the RFI was created on July 30, 2019, with an original closing date of August 9, 2019. That is a short response window, consistent with an information-gathering exercise where the agency is looking for concise, practical feedback on capacity, feasibility, implementation models, partnership structures, and potential risks. RFIs commonly ask respondents to comment on issues such as how to integrate clinical and community services, how to ensure quality and continuity across referral networks, how to manage sub-awards or service delivery networks, what performance indicators are realistic, and what local capacity exists to lead implementation at scale.
In short, this is a USAID Kenya/East Africa market research notice seeking responses that can inform the design of a large-scale, locally led service delivery activity integrating HIV clinical programming with OVC activities. The headline numbers (up to $136 million total ceiling and roughly four anticipated awards) indicate a substantial planned investment, and the emphasis on local partner service delivery suggests USAID is exploring structures that increase local leadership and implementation responsibility. The actual questions USAID asked, the exact definition of "local partner," geographic focus, target populations, expected results, and response format are all contained in Attachment 1, which is referenced as the authoritative source for the full RFI.Apply for 72061519RFI00002
