Subject: Amendment 2 to Request for Proposals (RFP) Number 72026820R00002, “Trade and Investment Facilitation (TIF) Activity”

The United States Government, represented by the U.S Agency for International Development (USAID), Mission in Lebanon (henceforth referred to as USAID/Lebanon or the Mission) seeks proposals to develop

Lebanon’s economy through support to the private sector to unlock local and export sales potential while also creating jobs and increasing incomes. The subject Request for Proposals (RFP) provides top-level objectives of the acquisition in a Statement of Objectives (SOO). The Performance Work Statement

(PWS) submitted by offerors in response to this solicitation must outline cost-effective solutions and innovative approaches to meet the outlined objectives as stated in the SOO. From the PWS, USAID/Lebanon will assess the bidder’s understanding of all aspects of the effort to be performed.

USAID/Lebanon anticipates awarding one Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee Completion-type contract as a result of this solicitation covering an estimated period of five (5) years from the date of contract award, consisting of three (3) base years, two (2) one-year option periods, and up to three (3) increased quantity options.

Subject to availability of funds, USAID estimates the maximum amount of this contract (costs and fee) is in the range of $64,000,000 to $75,000,000 covering a period of performance of five years. However, offerors should not necessarily strive to equal this amount. Cost-effective approaches to achieving the program objectives stated in the government requirement are highly encouraged. Further information on available funding and the evaluation of cost proposals is in Section M of this document.

Amendment #2 to this RFP is hereby issued to notify interested offerors that a revision has been made under SECTION I. CONTRACT CLAUSES, and SECTION M. EVALUATION CRITERIA.

All other provisions and text of the RFP remain unchanged.
