Description

Subject to availability of funds, the United States Agency for International Development to Honduras (USAID/Honduras) intends to post a request for proposals for technical assistance to establish the strategic results required to ensure a successful initial implementation by Honduras justice sector institutions, particularly the Judiciary, of the new Criminal Procedures Code (CPC). The CPC, as approved by the National Congress in December of 1999 and published into law in May of 2000, is due for full implementation nationwide on February 20, 2002. Contract work should build upon and/or be incorporated into sector activities as currently supported by USAID, pursuant to a multi-phase work plan -- the Inter-institutional Road Map for CPC implementation, developed in consultation with an Inter-institutional Commision for Criminal Justice Reform established in 2000. The resulting Contract will be for an 18 month-period. USAID/Honduras will seek proposals from qualified U.S. firms to deliver the services described above. This procurement is a full and open competition. The issuance date of the RFP is expected to be approximately 01/15/02. The closing date for submission of the proposals, to be specified in the RFP, will be approximately thirty (30) days thereafter. The NAIC code for this procurement is 541990. To obtain a copy of the RFP, write or telefax to the above address with the solicitation number, company address and phone number of contact person. To ensure timely receipt of solicitation amendments and provide the maximum response time, please also provide telefax number, if available. Phone requests will not be honored. The preferred method of distribution of USAID Acquisition and Assistance (A&A) information is via the Internet. (By exception, USAID can provide solicitations on a 3.5" floppy disk (Microsoft 97 format), via e-mail, or in hard copy.) This CBD Notice can be viewed and downloaded using the Agency Web Site. The solicitation, once issued, can be downloaded from the Agency web site. You are encouraged to access the solicitation via the Internet as this eliminates possible delays associated with mailing, in general, and particularly from overseas Missions. The USAID Worldwide Web address is http://www.usaid.gov. Select "Business and Procurement" from the home page, then "USAID Procurements."
