TERMS OF REFERENCE/TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Procurement of Iron and Folic Acid Tablet
for Twenty Districts in East Java and East Nusa Tenggara
A. Background
Nutrition International ”NI” is implementing MITRA Youth, a project supporting Weekly Iron Folic
Acid Supplementation (WIFAS) for prevention and reduction of Iron Deficiency Anaemia (IDA)
among school-going adolescent girls, in selected districts in two provinces of Indonesia: East
Java and East Nusa Tenggara. MITRA Youth is supported by Department of Foreign Affairs and
Trade (DFAT) Australia.
Currently, the Central Government provides 20-25 per cent of total IFA supplements (52 tablets
per year; each tablet containing 60 milligram elemental iron and 400 microgram folic acid) for
each school-going adolescent girl based on the National Guidelines (2016). There are, however,
challenges in this, such that the districts do not always have sufficient budgets to procure their
total requirement, coupled with delays in receiving additional funds from the Central or
Provincial levels, stock-outs and supply-chain issues in the field. Therefore, NI will provide the
DHOs with the WIFAs to fill the gaps between the needs and the availability at the districts.
Nutrition International will follow its procurement procedures including open bidding through
Requests for Quotation (RFQ) from companies, considering that in-country production of IFA
supplements has no international Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) fulfilling requirements,
Nutrition International would also do the third party laboratory test for the IFA supplements
supply which will be distributed to schools.
NI is looking for a suitable agency for procuring IFA tablets. The product specifications and
other requirements are mentioned below.
The NI’s overall objective is to provide this In-Kind Contribution of IFA tablets to District Health
Offices for implementation of WIFAS program for adolescent girls in 20 districts.
