- Description
- The United States Government, represented by the United States Agency for International Development Regional Mission to Central Asia (USAID/CAR), is seeking proposals to provide the services described in the attached Request for Proposals. You are invited to submit a proposal in accordance with the requirements of the RFP. This procurement shall be conducted through full and open competition, under which any type of organization is eligible to compete. The procedures set forth in FAR Part 15 shall apply. Please consider the following information: There are not any registration concerns with the country of Kazakhstan. However, the laws and decrees in Uzbekistan and Tajikistan require that foreign legal entities must be registered to do business within those countries. These procedures are quite lengthy and it may take up to a year or longer before an organization knows whether its registration is accepted by the host governments. In Turkmenistan, implementing partners who do not have an existing relationship with the government have not been able to effectively function, though registration of foreign NGO branch offices is not a legal requirement. Given the in-country operating environments for Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan in relation to registration and presence, the offeror through itself, or subcontractors, or joint-venture members must demonstrate current registration in Tajikistan and Uzbekistan and an established presence in Turkmenistan. Information on non-governmental organizations (NGOs) operating in such countries can be found through various English and Russian-language websites and NGO organizations. We also encourage organizations which are registered in Tajikistan or Uzbekistan or have an established presence in Turkmenistan to express their status as such on the “Interested Vendor List” at www.fbo.gov to assist in making this information known to others. If you decide to submit a proposal, it must be presented in accordance with the attached solicitation and received no later than 10:00 AM, local Almaty, Kazakhstan, time on the Closing Date indicated above at the place shown below. Proposals and modifications thereof, should be submitted with the name, street address, telephone number, internet email address of a point-of-contact who is an authorized agent of the offeror and Request for Proposal Number inscribed thereon, must be addressed to: John Griffin Contracting Officer USAID/CAR Internet email for electronic submission: AlmatyAAsolicitations@usaid.gov U.S. based mailing address: USAID/DOS 7030 Almaty Place Washington, DC 20521-7030 Street/delivery address: USAID/CAR, Acquisition and Assistance Office 41 Kazibek bi Street Park Palace Building Almaty, Kazakhstan 050000 Tel 7-727-250-48-02 This RFP in no way obligates USAID to award a contract nor does it commit USAID to pay any cost incurred in the preparation and submission of a proposal.
