Establishing long-term relationships with vendors is an important component of our supply chain strategy. Antiretrovirals, rapid test kits, and many frequently requested commodities are procured, whenever possible, under indefinite quantity contracts (IQCs). The e-catalog shows a range of products we can provide for the SCMS project. Vendors can also view the Global Fund's approach to procurement through the VPP on their website.

If your company offers items listed in our SCMS e-catalog or similar products that may be used in HIV & AIDS, TB or malaria programs, please monitor PFSCM’s Request for Proposals for contract opportunities.You may also contact us to provide details of your products and discuss opportunities to work together.

Our procurement process adheres to international best practices for public procurement and complies with the specific requirements of the U.S. Government for SCMS and the Global Fund for VPP. PFSCM is committed to providing best value for its clients and is constantly seeking opportunities to provide better services at lower prices.

Vendors interested in becoming a supplier to PFSCM under one of its agreements should forward relevant information to pfscm@pfscm.org.

PFSCM operates a competitive and transparent procurement system. By leveraging purchasing power across many recipients and countries, negotiating long-term contracts with our suppliers, and buying generic ARVs and other pharmaceuticals whenever possible, we achieve the lowest possible cost for the products we buy. We can frequently save our clients up to 80 percent in shipping by switching from costly air freight to sea and land. Parties interested in PFSCM’s procurement service agency (PSA) services should first look to the SCMS e-catalog as an indicative list of items we most frequently purchase.
