The United States Agency for International Development (USAID), Regional Mission to Central Asia (USAID/CA), is seeking proposals from qualified organizations to implement an activity entitled “USAID’s Central Asia Regional Water and Vulnerable Environment Activity” as detailed in the Statement of Objectives. The applicable geographic codes for this procurement are 937 and 110. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 541990. This procurement will be conducted under full and open competition procedures, pursuant to Part 15 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) (48 CFR Chapter 1). All types of organizations are eligible to compete. If your organization decides to submit a proposal in response to this solicitation, it must be submitted in accordance with Section L of this RFP. USAID Central Asia anticipates awarding one (1) Cost-Plus Fixed Fee type contract as a result of this solicitation covering a period of five (5) years. The estimated cost for this contract is between $23 and $24.9 million, subject to the availability of funds. Revealing the total estimated cost for the contract does not mean Offerors should propose a budget equal to the estimated cost. Offerors must propose costs that are necessary, realistic and reasonable for the scope of work. These costs may be lower, but in no case may they exceed the estimated cost. Cost proposals will be evaluated as part of a best value determination for contract award, including cost effective approaches to achieve the results and cost realism. Offerors should carefully consider Section L - Instructions to Offerors and Section M - Evaluation Factors for Award. Sections B through J of the solicitation will become a substantive part of the anticipated contract to be completed by the Contracting Officer upon award. Also, the Government intends to incorporate parts of the successful proposal into the negotiated contract award, in particular the proposed PWS. Issuance of an Award is subject to availability of funds and conclusion of successful negotiations. In order to ensure that the best value proposal is received, USAID reserves the right to award without discussions or establish a competitive range of proposals from all submissions for further discussions. USAID may request bidders in the competitive range to make presentations via digital video conference to present their technical approach and clarify why it presents the best value concept.
