Renewal of Cooperative Agreement
With the Pan American Health
Organization
Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Preparedness and
Response (ASPR), Department of Health
and Human Services (HHS).
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Preparedness and
Response (ASPR), in the Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS)
intends to provide a Single Source
Three Year Cooperative Agreement to
the Pan American Health Organization
(PAHO). The Cooperative Agreement
will continue to improve operational
capabilities to provide timely,
coordinated, and quality medical
response to disasters in the Americas
region by supporting the WHO
Emergency Medical Teams (EMT)
Initiative. The collaboration between
ASPR and PAHO will focus on
supporting PAHO’s strategy to develop
and train national emergency medical
teams with a set of global standards in
each country in the region to ensure
they can respond to emergencies within
their own borders. PAHOs regional
strategy for the EMT Initiative
concentrates on building emergency
medical teams domestically, for each
country in the region, to ensure they can
respond to emergencies within their
own borders first, thereby reducing
dependence on U.S. medical assets/

the Single Source Cooperative
Agreement is not to exceed $1 million
over the three-year life of the
Cooperative Agreement.

Project Period: The period of
performance is from September 30, 2019
to September 30, 2022.
Award Amount: Estimate $1 million.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Office
of the Assistant Secretary for
Preparedness and Response (ASPR),
International Policy Branch is the
program office for this Cooperative
Agreement.
Single Source Justification: Founded
in 1902, PAHO, based in Washington
DC, is an international public health
agency working to improve the health
and living standards of the people of the
Americas Region. It is part of the United
Nations system, serving as the Regional
Office for the Americas of the World
Health Organization (WHO). PAHO is
uniquely placed to enhance the medical
response capabilities of countries in the
Americas Region. The partnership
between ASPR and PAHO gives ASPR
the ability to shape critical outcomes of
the EMT Initiative regionally, and helps
inform a timely HHS decision about
whether and how to participate in the
next generation of international
response systems. Although no USG
emergency medical response team is
part of the EMT, multiple U.S. based
non-governmental organizations have
been certified or are in the process of
certification. It is critical that HHS/
ASPR maintains visibility on U.S. based
EMTs for both situational awareness
and coordination purposes during
emergency responses abroad or
domestically. Furthermore, increasing
the regional disaster response capacities
may help alleviate the burden on U.S.
resources and assets every time our
country is called to provide assistance
in the region. Importantly, since there
are no self-sufficient USG medical teams
ready to deploy internationally and
registered in PAHO’s roster of EMTs,
making sure countries have their own
teams may significantly decrease
requests for assistance from the USG
and the potential for burden to U.S.
assets.
The three-year scope of work of the
renewed cooperative agreement will
build upon the successes of past
activities, including the following
overarching objectives:

• Development of SOPs and plans for
emergency and disaster response of prehospital emergency services and EMTs,
and the development of tools/guidelines
for the optimization of the delivery of
clinical care during emergencies.
• Provision of technical support to
develop national mechanisms for the
registration and mapping of local
emergency medical teams for domestic
response; mentoring for the creation and
operation of EMTs; technical support to
national EMTs to ensure self-sufficiency
and provision of timely and quality
clinical care.
• Development and strengthening of
nationally-led health emergency
coordination mechanisms (Health EOCs)
and technical support to countries to
establish or strengthen their health
EOCs.
• Integration of national coordination
mechanisms (CICOM) including
guidelines and operational support for
the creation, management and
implementation of national CICOM.
• Strengthening of regional health
emergency surge capacity including
capacity building of national experts in
critical areas of emergency coordination,
health services, surveillance, logistics,
damage and needs assessment, risk
communication, etc.
