PRE-SOLICITATION SYNOPSIS NOTICE

Inter-American Foundation (IAF)- Data Verifier Services in the Dominican Republic

Date: October 5, 2018

The Bureau of the Fiscal Service on behalf of the IAF intends to solicit for a Data Verifier in the Dominican Republic to provide grant data verification, learning, and evaluation services. It is the intent of the government to award a time and materials contract with fixed daily rates resulting from the solicitation.

Offerors shall have language abilities applicable to the Dominican Republic. Offerors shall also have experience conducting process and outcome evaluations of grassroots organizations and communities in Latin America and/or other developing countries.

The IAF approves approximately two to six new grants per year per country. Grants are usually awarded for a one, two, or three-year period and typically include the following verification visits: an orientation visit, a verification visit every six months, and a final visit after the project has closed. It is estimated that each visit to a grantee partner requires approximately three to six days, including preparing for the visit (contacting grantee partner, reading grant documentation, copying reports, etc.), travel time, interviews with the grantee partner and its beneficiaries, and drafting visit reports.

The data verifier will participate in learning initiatives and meetings with IAF staff, consultants and grantee partners. Activities could range from collection and analysis of qualitative and quantitative data, participation in and preparation of learning products, and other evaluation activities such as asset appraisals and innovative learning and evaluation approaches.

The tentative anticipated date of solicitation release will be October 18, 2018. The final solicitation package will include all details of services to be performed and instructions to the interested offerers.
