SOLICITATION INFORMATION

A. BACKGROUND

USAID/Benin is a small bilateral mission with an Operating Year Budget (OYB) of approximately $31 million and Operating Expense (OE) budget of approximately $2.0 million. USAID/Benin has been selected as a Presidential Malaria Initiative (PMI), with approximately $14.0 million in funding under this program in fiscal year 2008. USAID/Benin has also received $6 million under the Women's Justice and Empowerment Initiative (WJEI) and over $6Million for Education. USAID Benin’s program funding is expected to continue to grow in FY 2009.

The Mission is currently staffed with only two USDH (the Mission Director and the Program Officer). The Executive Officer (EXO), the Regional Contracting Officer and the Controller positions are all based in Accra and provide support to USAID/Benin. Many of the executive office services (such as motor pool, maintenance and warehouse are now being provided to the Mission by the Embassy under ICASS. With no warranted Executive Officer at post, the Mission's office of acquisition and assistance (OAA) is responsible for all Mission operating expense-funded procurements and all program-funded acquisition and assistance actions. The Mission's financial management office receives Controller coverage from the Controller in USAID/West Africa (USAID/WA) in Accra. The Office of Acquisition and Assistance also receives coverage from the Regional Contracting Officer in USAID/WA, if the incumbent is not eligible for a warrant.

B. BASIC FUNCTION

The Senior Acquisition and Assistance (A&A) Specialist serves as USAID/Benin's senior specialist and key advisor for all acquisition and assistance matters. She/He is the head of the Office of Acquisition and Assistance which consists of three staff members in addition to the Senior A&A Specialist.

The Senior Acquisition and Assistance Specialist is responsible for providing the full range of acquisition and assistance services in support of USAID/Benin's foreign assistance objectives. She/He will be required to apply highly specialized acquisition and assistance knowledge, skills and abilities involving a variety of actions that range from simplified low-dollar, short-term awards to complex multi-million dollar, multi-year awards. This includes providing support on all aspects of contract management relating to and affecting USAID assistance programs, policy and project planning, design, implementation and evaluation.

Ideally, the Senior A&A Specialist will have US Government warranted Contracting Officer experience and will be eligible for obtaining a warrant from USAID to obligate and commit funds for the US government and to act as the Contracting Officer for all activities within the warrant authority. The Senior A&A Specialist will receive on-sight supervision from the Mission Director. In the case she/he is not eligible for a warrant, policy guidance and technical oversight will be provided by the Regional Contracting Officer who will then have overall responsibility for the procurement programs of the Mission.

The incumbent will be expected to work primarily in accomplishing the specific tasks outlined below.

However, given the nature of the job, the incumbent will also be expected to respond to any changes in priorities that emerge during the contract period to provide efficient, timely and effective services to the Mission.

C. MAJOR DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

The Senior A&A Specialist shall provide personal services as a Senior Acquisition and Assistance (A&A) Specialist, providing a wide range of acquisition and assistance support services to the Mission.

The Senior A&A Specialist must be able to discuss and assess situations with a degree of expertise sufficient to provide the basis for well-founded recommendations to the Contracting Officer. A clear understanding of the differences between acquisition and assistance is essential. Both the underlying purposes, as defined in law, and the different relationships, as reflected in the different terms and conditions, must be understood at a level that permits the specialist to effectively and accurately represent U.S. Govt. policy to outside organizations and to a full range of programmatic and administrative officials within USAID/Benin up to the level of Mission Director.

She/He must perform a full range of pre-award and post-award duties described below with full independence. Actions will be highly complex and represent critical Agency objectives with short lead times. She/He must be available to Mission staff for consultation on all aspects of procurement from the procurement planning stage to the administration stage.

Contractual decisions and recommendations will be considered authoritative for all actions within the designated portfolio and authority.
