- Description
- The United States Agency for International Development (USAID), Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance (BHA) is the lead United States Government (USG) coordinator for international disaster response. USAID BHA responds to humanitarian conditions caused by natural disasters and complex emergencies around the world. The ability to quickly respond to international emergencies is dependent on having timely access to relief commodities. To accomplish this, USAID BHA ensures response readiness by maintaining stockpiles of relief commodities in strategic locations worldwide and coordinating the distribution of these supplies. While BHA supplies both food and Non-Food Items (NFI), this solicitation is for the supply of NFIs, which often support people affected by rapid onset disasters including earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and floods, as well as slow-onset crises, such as drought and conflict.� USAID BHA is seeking to establish a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) with one or more firms that will allow USAID to contract simply and quickly with these firms for production, packaging, branding, and readying for transport of Non-Food Items (NFIs) used in humanitarian assistance, as described in detail in Section 2. This competition for the BPA allows offerors to submit their proposals to USAID describing how their firm is capable and qualified to provide the commodities and services outlined in this BPA. The winning firm(s) would then have a signed agreement with USAID (which includes a minimum order guarantee of zero USD), through which future Purchase Orders could easily be issued. USAID may award one or more BPAs to one or more firms, and one or more NFI commodities may be included on each BPA. Purchasing of these supplies will occur when Call Orders (or Purchase Orders) are issued under an awarded BPA. The selected BPA holders must be able to perform all activities specified in Section 2 in support of USAID programs.� Based on each Call Order, the contractor will produce and supply NFI commodities, accept USAID BHA�s quality inspection by BHA-selected inspector, store finished commodities for up to 60 days after order completion, and coordinate with BHA-selected freight forwarder for dispatch from its premises. All associated costs to supply these commodities Ex-Works, including, but not limited to, loading, unloading, transport, (re-)packing, labeling, coordinating/receiving inspection, will be borne by the Contractor and included in the offer. Though this is optional and must not be included in product unit price in the offer, offerors may indicate their general capability to transport their products worldwide. The nature of USAID/BHA�s emergency relief work means that any successful Contractor will need to be reachable on short-notice and able to respond within 24 hours. Offerors may bid for one, some, or all of the NFIs specified herein. USAID may issue more than one award to one or more Contractors, and one or more NFI commodities may be included on each BPA. The Contractor is reminded that U.S. Executive Orders and U.S. law prohibits transactions with, and the provision of resources and support to, individuals and organizations associated with terrorism. It is the legal responsibility of the contractor/recipient to ensure compliance with these Executive Orders and laws. This provision must be included in all subcontracts/sub-awards issued under this contract/agreement.
