Clean Energy for Non-Critical Priority Countries (Non-CPC)

The Clean Energy for Non-Critical Priority Countries (Non-CPC) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract is a U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) vehicle designed to support clean energy development and energy sector reforms in developing countries not classified as critical priority countries. The master contract enables USAID to rapidly deploy technical assistance, capacity building, and strategic advisory services to improve energy infrastructure, promote renewable energy investments, and enhance energy market development across multiple regions. The contract vehicle allows for flexible task order issuance with a shared ceiling of $350 million, supporting various energy-related initiatives from hydropower planning to regulatory reforms.

The task orders under this IDIQ consistently focus on clean energy development, typically ranging in value from approximately $5 million to $18 million and spanning 2-5 year periods of performance. Prime contractors frequently include prominent consulting firms such as Deloitte Consulting LLP, Tetra Tech ES, Inc., AECOM International Development, and Ecodit LLC, who have won multiple task orders across different countries including Georgia, Uganda, India, Nepal, Kosovo, and the Philippines. The task orders universally employ cost-plus fixed fee pricing and do not utilize small business set-asides. Common objectives include supporting energy market development, building institutional capacity, promoting renewable energy investments, integrating non-hydro renewable energy into power systems, and providing strategic advisory services to improve energy security in target countries.
