Dear Prospective Offerors:

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in Bangladesh is seeking proposals from qualified organizations interested in providing the services as described in this solicitation. USAID invites all interested and responsible organizations to submit offers in accordance with the requirements of this solicitation.

USAID anticipates awarding a single Cost-Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) Completion type Contract. The anticipated period of performance is approximately five years from the date of award. The total estimated cost-plus fixed fee of the contract is estimated to fall within a range of $11,000,000 to $13,000,000.

This procurement will be conducted under full and open competition procedures, pursuant to Part 15 of the

Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) (48 CFR Chapter 1). The Government reserves the right to award a contract without discussions or the submission of final proposed revisions, based upon evaluation of the Offeror’s submitted technical and price information. Accordingly, the Offeror’s initial offer should contain its best terms for both price and technical proposal. Offerors should retain for their records a complete copy of their proposals for future reference.

If your organization decides to submit a proposal in response to this solicitation, it must be submitted in accordance with Section L of this RFP. Offerors must also carefully review Section M - Evaluation Factors.

Proposals are to be submitted to USAID/Bangladesh no later than the closing date and time stated above, to the email address designated in Section L for receipt of proposals. If the proposal is received after the closing date and time, or if it is incomplete, it will not be accepted nor considered unless authorized by the Contracting

Officer pursuant to FAR 15.208.

This RFP in no way obligates USAID to award a contract nor does it commit USAID to pay any costs incurred in the preparation and submission of a proposal. Award of a contract under this RFP is subject to availability of funds and other internal USAID approvals. Furthermore, USAID reserves the right to reject any and/or all offers if such action is considered to be in the best interest of the Government.

All questions, comments, and/or requests for clarifications must be sent in writing to marahman@usaid.gov, and kjenchiewchan@usaid.gov, no later than the date and time indicated above.

This RFP can be viewed and downloaded from https://beta.sam.gov. USAID bears no responsibility for data errors resulting from transmission or conversion processes.
