- Description
- The United States Agency for International Development (USAID), Office of Transition Initiatives (OTI) intends to solicit proposals for a single award Indefinite Quality Contract (IQC). The contract will be for a period of five (5) years. The types of task orders awarded under the IQC will be Firm Fixed Price (FFP) with Fixed Daily Rates (FDR). USAID will award the contract under a Total Small Business set aside. The anticipated estimated cost of the five year period shall not exceed $6,800,000. USAID's Office of Transition Initiatives, supports U.S. foreign policy objectives by helping local partners advance peace and democracy in priority countries in crisis. Seizing critical windows of opportunity, OTI works on the ground to provide fast, flexible, short-term assistance targeted at key political transition and stabilization needs. The purpose of the resulting IQC is to provide services for the Office of Transition Initiatives (OTI) that fall under the broad categories of monitoring and evaluation; personnel development; and short term technical assistance. OTI's country programs must be flexible, responsive and targeted at the country's specific transition needs. At the same time, the program teams must be able to monitor the implementation of the programs, their results, and to be able to document their impact within the various Agency processes. There are high demands on program personnel to deploy quickly and demonstrate results immediately. At the same time, the nature of the environment can mean a relatively high turnover for program staff (OTI personnel including Personal Services Contractors (PSCs) and implementing partner staff). OTI often needs technical experts for short-term assignments based on OTI's need for rapid and flexible programming. The required response time after the task order is awarded may range from 72 hours to one month. The proposed contract is a 100% set aside for small concerns. The authorized geographic code for this activity is 000 (U.S.). The NAICS Code for this procurement is 541611. The solicitation will be posted on the FEDBIZOPPS web page (www.fedbizopps.gov) not less than 15 days after this notice is issued. In accordance with FAR 5.102(d), availability of the solicitation is limited to this electronic medium only. Request for other copies of the solicitation will be disregarded without notice to the requestor. No phone calls will be accepted, the solicitation will not be available for pick-up, and no walk-ins will be allowed. The time frame for accepting questions in regard to this notice will be 5 days (04/30/2007 - 05/04/2007). Questions must be submited in writing by email. Amanda G. Downing, Contracts Negotiator, email: adowning@usaid.gov, phone no. (202) 712-5945, fax no. (202) 216-3132.
