R -- ADDITIONAL LOE FOR USAID/W UNDER ICF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY, INC. CONTRACT OTR-0000-C-00-0137-00 POC Contact: Georgia Fuller: (703) 875-1134, Contracting Officer: James A. Jeckell: (703) 875-1017. R--The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has approved a Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition to add up to $1,000,000 worth of additional level of effort (labor hours) for technical services in AID/Washington Accounting Control Systems (AWACS) software design to the current contract with ICF. Although the ICF contract does not expire until February 28, 1997, the original level of effort (labor hours) for functional analysts was underestimated and was expended much more rapidly than anticipated. The purpose of this contracting action is to continue with the software development effort by increasing the level of effort for existing labor categories at the same fixed loaded labor hour rates established in the current contract. The expeditious implementation of AWACS is a specific recommendation in the President's National Performance Review. Subcontracting with small business concerns and socially and economically disadvantaged entities: A.I.D. encourages the participation to the maximum extent possible of U.S. entities that are small business concerns and small disadvantaged business concerns in accordance with Part 19 of the FAR. It is anticipated that the prime contractor will make maximum practicable use of such entities. See Note 22. (0051)
