12. Section D.1.2 states that the Contractor shall provide full Project Reports for “up to eight

(8) activities,” while the Final Report purpose in the same section requires the Contractor to “develop terms of reference and budgets for at least eight (8) activities” and references approval “beyond the minimum one per country.” Could the Government please confirm that eight (8) Project Reports is a not-to-exceed ceiling rather than a minimum? Could the Government also confirm that there is no minimum deliverable obligation per country?

RESPONSE: Eight (8) Project Reports is ceiling, not a minimum.

13. Section D.1.5 indicates that the region covered by the RFP is Europe and Eurasia, but the title of the RFP includes the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). Will MENA be included in the geographic scope of this contract?

RESPONSE: The correct region is Europe and Eurasia. MENA is not part of the geographic scope of the contract.

14. Section D.1.9 states that “The Contractor shall not include any business confidential information in the Public Market Report and shall include the following confidentiality certification in the final invoice: ‘I hereby certify that the Public Market Report contains no business confidential information.’” However, the RFP does not mention a requirement to produce a Public Market Report. Can the Government please clarify if a Public Market Report is required and, if it is not, will the Government remove the statement above from Section D.1.9?

RESPONSE: A Public Market Report is not required for this contract. Please disregard the language in Section D.1.9 regarding a Public Market Report.
