USAID/Haiti (hereinafter known as USAID) intends to award an estimated five-year contract for the services of a U.S. organization capable to implement phase II of the Health Systems 2004 (HS2004) activity within the strategic objective (so)"healthier families of desired size" in the population and health sector. The purpose of the HS-2004 phase II activity is to facilitate Haiti's institutional ability to increase the use of and access to reproductive health services and child survival to improve the health of women and children. Under HS-2004 phase II, USAID/Haiti intends to continue its support to NGOs which work in the health sector in Haiti, and to further strengthen and expand access to services over the life of the phase II activity. Accordingly, USAID seeks a mechanism for channeling its support to NGO health sector institutions, beginning in January 2000, for a period of 5 years. In addition to making USAID funds available to NGO partners, the successful offeror (the selected "contractor") willprovide and coordinate technical assistance to NGO partners, and be responsible for measuring and reporting to USAID on an annual basis the impact of child survival and reproductive health services provided by NGO partners. It is intended that the HS-2004 phase II activity will be implemented under a performance-based, "completion type, cost reimbursement contract." USAID has no particular management "model" in mind, and offerors will be encouraged to be innovative in their proposals, taking into account USAID's current health sector strategy, priorities and other factors. In support of the above activities, the contractor will establish a project office in port au prince. The office will have the managerial and administrative authority and responsibility to assure the satisfactory functioning of the contractor in Haiti.
