PMI Evolve Zambia RFQ 2024-0082 IRS Consumables
Since 2006, the US President Malaria Initiative (PMI) has protected millions of people in sub-Saharan Africa from malaria through three vector control initiatives. Indoor residual spraying (IRS) sprays insecticide on walls, ceilings, and other indoor resting places to kill mosquitoes that transmit malaria. Insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs) protect people as they sleep. And entomological monitoring helps countries monitor, adapt, and respond to changes in mosquito populations, including their resistance to insecticides. Abt Associates has contributed to this work since 2011 by leading the Africa Indoor Residual Spraying (AIRS), PMI AIRS, and PMI VectorLink projects.
In December 2022, PMI awarded Abt the PMI Evolve Project, which supports PMI and U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) missions and bureaus with the planning, implementing, and monitoring of malaria vector control programs in 21 countries. PMI Evolve is building on the prior projects’ IRS, ITN, and larval source management (LSM) activities and entomological monitoring. The new project is strengthening the capacity of local institutions, including national malaria programs, district health offices, and research institutions, to independently conduct vector control programs. PMI Evolve is also responsible for program evaluation and conducting operations research on new vector control innovations. Activities are carried out in full collaboration with the National Malaria Control/Elimination Programs (NMCP/NMEP).
Abt Associates Inc. is currently seeking firm, fixed-price bids for Provision of Indoor Residual Spray Commodities as described in the RFQ attached.
