The United States Agency for International Development seeks proposals from qualified organizations to implement the USAID/Yemen Continuous Learning and Evaluation (YCLE) Activity described in the attached Request for Proposals (RFP). Subject to the availability of funds, USAID/Yemen plans to award a single cost-plus-fixed-fee completion contract to one successful offeror with an estimated cost in the range of $15-20 million, covering a total estimated period of five years. The contract period is comprised of a basic period of three years and two one-year option periods. This procurement will be conducted under full and open competition procedures, pursuant to Part 15 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) (48 CFR Chapter I). Offerors are invited to submit a proposal in accordance with the requirements of the enclosed RFP. Proposals must be received by USAID no later than the date and local time stated above and in this RFP. USAID requires that offers remain valid for a minimum of 180 days. Any current USAID/Yemen implementing partner, contractor or grantee, shall be disqualified from pursuit of work under this solicitation, either as a prime or subcontractor, if the work under the anticipated contract would be related whatsoever to the contractor or grantee's current award, as determined by the Contracting Officer. The Head of the Contracting Activity, in consultation with USAID's Competition Advocate, may authorize a waiver (in accordance FAR 9.503) by determining that preclusion of the Contractor from the contract would not be in the Government's interest. Offerors should read the entire solicitation, which includes all pertinent technical sections and the terms, conditions and instructions required for submitting a proposal. Prior to the submission of proposals, any amendments to this solicitation will be made available through the Government port of entry at http://www.fbo.gov. It is the offeror’s responsibility to check this site periodically for official updates and amendments to the solicitation. This solicitation in no way obligates USAID to award a contract, nor does it commit USAID to pay any cost incurred in the preparation and submission of a proposal in response hereto. Furthermore, USAID reserves the right to reject any and all offers, if such action is considered to be in the best interest of USAID. All questions, comments, requests for clarifications must be sent to usaidyemensolicitations@usaid.gov no later than the date and time indicated above. Questions will not be entertained after this date. Thank you for your interest and we look forward to your participation. Sincerely, Zachary Clarke Contracting Officer
