Hema once said something about a pending agreement
Post# of 36537
“Long Term WHO Agreement
In February 2016, HDS signed a Long Term Two Year Agreement with the WHO for the supply of the first HDS Malaria tests.
Offering a highly competitive rate in close cooperation with our subcontractor, we expect to see increased sales for these products during the life of that agreement. However, the agreement with WHO allows us to compete for WHO funded projects, but does not guarantee any specific sales.
USAID
USAID has submitted to the Company a request for participation in a Long Term Agreement for the HDS Malaria Tests. The prerequisite will be the same as those requirements satisfied during the WHO evaluation process and which qualified our tests for purchase by the WHO. In FY2105, USAID purchased $24.5 million in malaria tests. USAID is the lead U.S. Government agency that works to end extreme global poverty and enable resilient, democratic societies to realize their potential and which supports the sale of RDTs to those same countries.
European Union
The European Union has also initiated the preliminary purchase process of our Express devices for Typhoid, Hepatitis-C, Hepatitis-B, Tuberculosis, Syphilis, Malaria and Dengue.

The requirement was made by established NGOs in Greece in cooperation with other international funding agencies.
Purchases of EXPRESS devices for Malaria and Tuberculosis ordered are to be financed by the Internal Security Fund of the European Union and details in the RFQ specifies the advanced performance specifications of the “HEMA RAPID” device.
The current requirement is for 300,000 total tests at an average of $2.10/test and is pending confirmation of funds and a renegotiation on ship schedule. Currently, due to difficulties within Greece, this requirement has been held up pending resolution.
Concurrent to this requirement is a pending order for approximately 250,000 HDS Express HIV tests. This order is being coordinated by a Netherlands NGO that has and continues to act as supply-chain management. This organization has committed to including HDS products in their current inventories and has additional requirements that span beyond the initial 250,000 devices. This includes several other RFP opportunities for other HDS testing approved products.
We have received a commitment from an NGO in Paris with sustaining ties to the country of Nigeria. The commitment signals a storing intent on the part of this NGO, but is not a binding order for products. The issuance of the order depends greatly upon the exchange rate of the target country and the US dollar. As of this date, the rate of exchange has delayed the issuance of a purchase order.” 8K January 2017
