Reference: Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 72051923R00004

Issuance Date: April 18, 2023

Subject: USAID Central America Regional Support Services IDIQ

The purpose of this Special Notice to the referenced RFP is to communicate to all interested parties that USAID received over 400 questions in response to the RFP. As a result of this extensive and valuable feedback, USAID is making significant changes to the referenced RFP and plans to issue a revised solicitation in the next two weeks. Accordingly, the due date for proposals will be extended. USAID intends to issue the responses to the questions submitted with the revised RFP, as well as provide another opportunity to submit additional questions.

Significant changes will include but are not limited to the following:

1. the instructions and evaluation in regards to Past Performance will be revised in its entirety and will rely heavily on CPARs;

2. Volume II (Business) will be changed to limit the amount of information required;

3. the RFP will be revised to allow for a wide variety of task order types in line with

USAID’s more standard practice used under past IDIQ RFPs; and

4. the cost and pricing approach will be revised to focus on cost reimbursement type task orders and unburdened ceiling daily rates.

We appreciate your patience as we work to improve this solicitation and procurement process.

Thank you for your interest in working with USAID.

Sincerely, Agnes Tusjak

Contracting Officer
