SFH upholds and operationalizes the core humanitarian principles of Humanity, Neutrality, Independence, and Impartiality in all aspects of its programming and operations.SFH’s integrated humanitarian response programs span both emergency response and longer-term development assistance, with a strategic focus on:Buy MapsBuilding community resilience in crisis-affected areasProviding emergency lifesaving Humanitarian assistanceAdvancing gender equality and the empowerment of women and girlsPromoting good governance and accountabilitySupporting sustainable livelihoods for vulnerable populationsOur mission is to deliver accessible, equitable, and dignified humanitarian assistance tothe most vulnerable and hard to reach communities in Somalia, ensuring their access toessential services including Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), Education, QualityHealthcare and Nutrition services, Food security and Livelihood Support.SFH is fully committed to the highest standards of transparency, accountability, andintegrity in all its procurement and programmatic activities, including accountability to thecommunities and populations we serve.PROJECT BACKGROUNDWith generous financial support from the Somalia Humanitarian Fund (SHF) through the1st standard allocation-2026, SFH is implementing Integrated Lifesaving WASH, Health,and Nutrition Response Project targeting climate-shocked, flood-affected, and protectionvulnerable communities in Jowhar District, Middle Shabelle Region, Somalia.Conductingwaterquality monitoring and testing in an emergency flood-prone area is acritical, life-saving activity that goes far beyond routine technical practice. Floods createsimultaneous and compounding threats to drinking water safety, including the overflow oflatrines and pit toilets into water sources, inundation of wells and boreholes by floodwaters,damage to water infrastructure causing cross-contamination between sewage and watersupply lines. These risks make populations in flood- affected areas like Jowhar District highlyvulnerable to waterborne diseases such as cholera, typhoid, and dysentery, makingsystematic water quality monitoring an operational priority for SFHI.As El-nino phenomena kicks in, SFHI’s priority is to rapidly assess and classify the targetwater sources including those that are not prioritized for rehabilitation but are within theproject area, identify visibly contaminated or flooded sources, and conduct rapid fieldtesting for the most critical parameters. These priority parameters are E. Coli or faecalcoliforms, which directly indicate faecal contamination; turbidity, which measures thecloudiness of water and determines whether chlorination will be effective, and free residualchlorine (FRC), which confirms that disinfection is working.Field testing kits will allow teams to generate results rapidly in the field without laboratoryinfrastructure, which is especially important when roads are flooded and access is limitedIn line with project objectives and to ensure the timely delivery of critical lifesaving servicesto affected populations in JOWHAR, SFH hereby invites qualified and eligible suppliers tosubmit competitive bids for the supply of 1 complete Del-AQUA bacteriological test kit.Single incubator kit upgraded to digital measurement of conductivity, TDS, pH, temperatureand turbidity. It should also include-multiparameter photometer and reagent that includesMembrane Filters, Absorbent Pads; Medi
