- Description
- This is the J&A for other than full and open competition npursuant to the authorities under the Expedited Acquisition and Assistance Procedures Package (EPP) for�Ukraine, Belarus, and Moldova, approved on March 6, 2022 by the Administrator. USAID Moldova intends to negotiate and award�Moldova Rural Competitiveness and Resilience Activity (RCRA), a one cost plus fixed fee (CPFF) completion contract with a period of performance of five (5) years and a total estimated cost of $49,696,117 Pursuant to the authority set forth in AIDAR 706.302-70(b)(3) and 40 U.S.C. �113, and Expedited Procedures Package (EPP) for Ukraine, Belarus, and Moldova approved by the USAID Administrator on March 6, 2022, this will be a sole source procurement with Nathan Associates. The approved EPP provides authorization to except competition for new awards. USAID has implemented this provision through 48 CFR �706.302-70(b)(3)(ii), which provides an exception to competition for ""awards for countries, regions, projects, or programs for which the Administrator of USAID made a formal written Determination and Findings (D&F).�The use of the EPP authority for using less than full-and-open competitive procedures for�RCRA procurement will allow the Mission to expeditiously implement this new activity,�maintaining momentum and�will allow the Agency to seamlessly,�in as responsive a manner as possible, continue supporting competitive reforms and programs to�stimulate a struggling Moldovan economic recovery. The goal of the Rural Competitiveness and Resilience Activity (RCRA) is to stimulate a sustainable and inclusive recovery from the regional crisis brought on by the latest Russian invasion of Ukraine and accelerate an inclusive, climate-resilient economic development of rural Moldova by protecting the development gains made with USAID support over the past decade and further stimulate the competitiveness of key economic sectors, including the wine industry, high-value agriculture, and tourism. For details please see attached the J&A and the D&F.
