- Description
- The United States Agency for International Development's Central Asia Mission (USAID/CA) intends to issue a single-award Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Contract with period of performance of four years and a ceiling of $24 million for the implementation of the USAID Power the Future Activity in Central Asia. USAID also anticipates issuing an initial task order with a period of performance of two years that will focus on Power the Future efforts in Central Asia within the framework of the 2015 "Joint Declaration of Partnership by the Five Countries of Central Asia and the United States of America" (C5+1). USAID intends to use full and open competition for this procurement. The goal of Power the Future is to help support the region's transition to low emission, climate resilient economies. This will be achieved by implementing key nationally determined contributions commitments through increasing the deployment of renewable energy and energy efficiency in all five Central Asian countries, while improving their ability to meet, track, and develop more ambitious commitments to greenhouse gas emissions reductions. The implementer will work in each country of Central Asia, following international best practices, to create effective enabling environments for renewable energy that account for the low wholesale and retail electricity prices that are common throughout the region. The contractor will also support development of policy and regulatory preconditions for investment in renewable energy and energy efficiency. While this activity is regional in nature, supporting climate change mitigation efforts across the five countries of Central Asia, the clean energy development and emissions accounting and NDC work will be most robust in Kazakhstan. Kazakhstan has the largest share of the region's total greenhouse gas emissions and has taken more steps to address climate change and clean energy policy innovation. This is NOT an Invitation for Bid (IFB) or a Request for Proposal (RFP) and in no way obligates the US Government to issue an RFP/IFB and/or award a contract. This notice satisfies the synopsis requirement in FAR 5.2. If a solicitation is issued, all necessary information will be supplied at the time it is posted at www.fedbizopps.gov. Questions/requests for information will not be responded to until RFP issuance. Interested parties are advised to periodically monitor the above website and solicitation number for updates concerning this procurement.
