Indefinite Quantity Contracts

Indefinite Quantity Contracts (IQCs) are the process by which donors such as the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) pre-qualify contractors for work in a specific technical area. Competition for assignments is then limited to those pre-qualified firms.

Khulisa pursues IQCs both independently and in strategic partnerships with other organisations. Khulisa is either a prime contract holder or sub-partner on the following IQCs.

SAPPPA IQC (South Africa PEPFAR Partner Performance Assessment)

Khulisa leads the team that is the sole contract holder of a five-year, US$14.2 million IQC with the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to conduct Performance Assessments of selected PEPFAR/South Africa programs.

Data Quality Assessments for the Global Fund

The Global Fund’s Data Quality Audit IQC is an integral part of the Global Fund’s performance based funding system. The reports produced by the DQAs serve two purposes: (1) to verify the quality of the programmatic information reported, and to inform subsequent financing decisions, and (2) to highlight or pinpoint areas of programmatic reporting systems that need strengthening. Under this IQC contract, Khulisa is a sub-contractor to John Snow, Inc.

TASC3 Global Health IQC

TASC3 allows USAID to easily access quality technical assistance and support for activities in maternal and child health, nutrition, infectious diseases, and HIV/AIDS. Khulisa’s work in Data Quality Assessments, Performance Assessments and other type of evaluations and assessments can be sourced through the TASC3 IQC. Under this IQC project, Khulisa is a sub-contractor to University Research Co., LLC.
