- Description
- The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) anticipates the award of several five year Indefinite Quantity Contracts (IQCs) to support Decentralized Democratic Local Governance (DDLG) in USAID recipient countries. Activities under the anticipated contracts will support decentralization of recipient governments, capacity-building in decentralizing governments, effective citizen participation in public decision-making and enhanced transparency and accountability in governance. Broader improvements to public management and administration may also be supported under this contract. Support for strengthening the capacities of sub-national governments in fiscal and financial management; local economic development; and conflict mitigation, management and resolution through local governance processes should also be anticipated in transitional, developing and failing, failed and recovering states. Contractors may be called upon for both short- (less than one year) and long-term (one year or more) assignments. USAID anticipates awarding approximately four (4) contracts, including approximately three (3) unrestricted and one (1) set-aside for a small business, on the condition that it is capable of undertaking the work. USAID anticipates that the maximum ordering limitation of the contracts resulting from this RFP will be $250,000,000 over the five (5) year ordering period. Note that this ceiling applies across all contracts and cannot be exceeded in the aggregate. Each successful contractor will be eligible to compete on all task orders until the shared ceiling for all contracts is reached. There is no guarantee on the number of contracts awarded, the number of task orders that any one firm will receive, or the amount of money each firm is entitled to beyond the minimum monetary amount stated in the RFP. The NAICS Code for this procurement is 541611. The solicitation will be posted on the FEDBIZOPPS web page (i.e., www.fedbizopps.gov) not less than fifteen (15) days after this notice is issued. In accordance with FAR 5.102(d), availability of the solicitation is limited to this electronic medium only. Requests for other copies of the solicitation will be disregarded without notice to the requestor. No phone requests will be accepted, no solicitation will be available for pick-up, and no walk-ins will be allowed. Questions must be directed to Mr. James Reid, Contract Specialist, U.S. Agency for International Development, M/OP/DCHA/DOFDA, Ronald Reagan Building, Room 7.09-076, 1300 Pennsylvania Ave, NW, Washington, D.C. 20523, (Phone: 202-712-4163) (Fax: 202-216-3396) (email: jreid@usaid.gov).
