TASC2 is designed to allow USAID Missions and Bureau to easily access high quality technical assistance and support for their activities in maternal and child health, nutrition, infectious disease, and HIV/AIDS.  TASC2 works worldwide and has three separate tiers of contractors.  

• The first tier, TASC2-Global Health, contains 10 contractors and many sub-contractors, covering the entire spectrum of USAID-supported health, infectious diseases, and population areas.  
• The second tier, TASC2-TB, consists of three contractors and a score of subcontractors, specializing in TB activities.  
• The third tier, TASC2-Media/Communication, consists of three contractors and a different set of subcontractors, specializing in a wide range of media, PR, press relations and communications activities.  

The combination of prime and sub-contractors available under the three TASC2 tiers (see the directory) provides a diverse mix of talents, skills, and experience as well as opportunities to work with many new partners.  TASC2 also includes two small business set asides among its prime contractors and many more among its sub-contractors. 

Assistance procured through a task order with any one of the 16 TASC2 prime contractors can be long-term or intermittent, depending on mission or bureau requirements.  Task orders awarded under TASC2 can extend up to 36 months beyond the end date of the contract, September 30, 2008, as long as they are awarded before that end date.  Task orders are developed, awarded and managed by the requesting unit (the USAID Mission or Bureau).  The Global Health Bureau in Washington provides guidance and assistance when requested (please send the request to Elizabeth Fox).

USAID Missions may access guidelines and supporting documents for creating task orders and statements of work from the mission resource area (menu to the left).  A listing of prime contractors and corresponding sub-contractors is also available in this area.

Contractor resource area contains information that assist contractors in their participation of TASC2.  The area will provide access to the current statements of Work (SOWs), Bureau of Global Health activities, and USAID Missions directory.  A generic TASC2 contract is also available for download in this area.
