Instructions to Offerors I.1. Introduction Chemonics, under U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Global Health Supply Chain Program - Procurement and Supply Management (GHSC-PSM), single award indefinite delivery indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract number AID-OAA-I-15-00004, is soliciting offers from companies and organizations to submit proposals to provide transportation services for oxygen (O2) generating health commodities to designated health facilities in Guatemala. The Global Health Supply Chain Program-Procurement and Supply Management (GHSC-PSM) project is an official project of USAID, implemented by Chemonics and its consortium members. The purpose of GHSC-PSM is to ensure uninterrupted supplies of health commodities in support of USG-funded public health initiatives around the world. As part of a broader response to the COVID-19 pandemic, USAID has engaged the GHSC-PSM project to procure, deliver, provide and manage technical assistance (TA) for a range of commodities in support of country-level management of COVID-19. Building upon GHSC-PSM-s recent work to procure and deliver ventilators, USAID has requested assistance to the oxygen (O2) sector in several countries, including Guatemala. Specifically, USAID has requested support for three separate but interrelated activities: 1. Coordination of in-country oxygen supply activities 2. Procurement of oxygen-related equipment and supplies 3. Provision of clinical and non-clinical TA to host-country counterparts related to maintenance of oxygen equipment and its use in clinical care for COVID-19 patients In support of the second activity, procurement of oxygen-related equipment and supplies, GHSC-PSM seeks Offeror-s services in Guatemala to manage the pick and pack and distribution of O2 concentrators and related equipment to health facilities mutually identified by USAID and the Ministry of Health (MOH). Offerors are invited to submit proposals in response to this RFP in accordance with Section I Instructions to Offerors, which will not be part of the subcontract. The instructions are intended to assist interested Offerors in the preparation of their offer. Any resulting subcontract will be guided by Sections II and III. This RFP does not obligate Chemonics to execute a subcontract nor does it commit Chemonics to pay any costs incurred in the preparation and submission of the proposals. Furthermore, Chemonics reserves the right to reject any and all offers, if such action is considered to be in the best interest of Chemonics. Unless otherwise stated, the periods named in the RFP shall be consecutive calendar days. I.2. Chronological L
