This will be a Cost- Plus-Award-Fee type contract. The Government is in no way obligated to make an award with the estimated ceiling identified.�Revealing the cost estimate for the contract does not mean that Offerors should strive to meet the�maximum amount; rather, Offerors should propose costs that are appropriate, realistic and�reasonable, and in accordance with the proposed approach for achieving results.

USAID/KEA will be using a voluntary down-select mechanism for this acquisition, which means the�proposal evaluation process will take place in two phases.

Failure to comply with the submission deadline will deem submissions as unacceptable�for review or evaluation. Section M states the evaluation criteria by which proposals will be�evaluated.
