PFSCM Projects

PFSCM manages two major projects that strive to reduce the worldwide impact of HIV & AIDS malaria, and tuberculosis. PFSCM also implements a number of smaller procurement contracts for donors, local governments and global development agencies.

SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (SCMS)

In 2003, the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) was launched to combat global HIV & AIDS globally — the largest commitment in history by any nation to combat a single disease. The Supply Chain Management System (SCMS) is a project of PEPFAR, administered by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). SCMS was established to ensure a reliable, cost-effective and secure supply of high-quality medicines and health products for HIV & AIDS prevention, care and treatment. SCMS procures and distributes essential medicines and supplies; provides technical assistance to transform existing supply chains; and collaborates with in-country and global partners to coordinate efforts.

GLOBAL FUND – VOLUNTARY POOLED PROCUREMENT (VPP)

The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria is a major financing institution in the fight against these diseases in 140 countries. The Global Fund established a Procurement Support Service for its Principal Recipients, with Voluntary Pooled Procurement and Capacity Building Services aimed at ensuring a cost-effective and efficient procurement process. These services provide support to countries to resolve procurement bottlenecks and supply chain management challenges and facilitate timely access to pharmaceuticals and health products.

OTHER PROJECTS

In addition to these major contracts, PFSCM has implemented a number of smaller procurement contracts for both USG-funded donors (such as the Elizabeth Glazer Pediatric AIDS Foundation, Catholic Relief Services and Harvard University) and for global development agencies, e.g., WHO and the World Bank. PFSCM has also been contracted directly by other governments, including Sierra Leone and Ethiopia.
