The AIDS Support and Technical Resources (AIDSTAR informally) mechanism is an indefinite quantity contract (IQC) managed out of the Office of HIV/AIDS in USAID’s Bureau for Global Health. AIDSTAR is a flexible mechanism available to U.S. Government (USG) country teams, USAID/Washington operating units, Missions, and other USG agencies to access technical expertise and implementation support across a broad range of HIV/AIDS-related technical areas. AIDSTAR is available to work in both U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief focus and other bilateral countries. AIDSTAR contractors have demonstrated technical capacity in a range of technical areas related to prevention, care and support; treatment/antiretroviral therapy, and related services; stigma and discrimination; gender; and program-related data collection and analysis.
