Description

USAID/SA proposes to modify existing contract 674-C-00-98-00030-00 with United Negro College Fund Special Programs (UNCFSP) under the Tertiary Education Linkages Project (TELP). The purpose of the modification is to provide ongoing technical support to the Historically Disadvantaged Institutions (HDIs) and a passthrough cost for the enhancement of linkage grants already established with U.S. institutions. The total estimated cost of the proposed modification is $240,000 for the remaining two-year period. This amount will provide for HDI faculty and administrators' travel expenses, per diem, accommodation and training. The cost of administering these funds will be covered by the modification of current milestones in the contract. Less than full and open competition is being used because of the need to avoid any interruption in support to the HDIs. Interested persons may identify their interests and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. However, the Government will consider all proposals received within forty-five days after the date of publication of this synopsis. A determination by the Government not to open the requirement to competition based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. The Government will not pay for information received. . See numbered Note 22. UNQUOTE*****
