- Description
- The United States Agency for International Development in Uganda (USAID/Uganda) intends to make a sole source award to Tetra Tech ARD, Inc. for $844,436 TEC Increase to an existing Contract (AID-617-C-13-00008). The overall objective of the activity is to improve the understanding of and ability to address the impacts of oil and gas development on Uganda's biodiversity and ecosystems. Launching a competition at this stage of the activity would result in substantial additional costs to USAID as well as unacceptable delays in results achievement. This TEC increase is intended to procure environmental monitoring and laboratory analysis equipment and field vehicles, provide training in theory operations and maintenance, and develop standard operating procedures (SOPS) for sampling, analysis and interpretation of results to support capacity building in the management and monitoring of the impacts of oil and gas production on biodiversity and the environment. The equipment and associated training described above will support the achievement of the existing EMOS activity objective and expected results. The statutory authority permitting the award without providing full and open competition is AIDAR 706.302-70(a)(2), which says that "full and open competition need not be obtained when it would impair or otherwise have an adverse effect on programs conducted for the purpose of foreign aid, relief and rehabilitation." It further states in 706.302-70(b)(5) that this authority may be used for "an award for the continued provision of highly specialized services when award to another resource would result in substantial additional costs to the Government or would result in unacceptable delays." No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals.
