1. BACKGROUND

The U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) is the U.S. Government’s Development Finance Institution. DFC partners with the private sector to mobilize capital for strategic investments worldwide that foster economic development, support U.S. interests, and deliver returns to American taxpayers. Launched in 2019, DFC helps to advance U.S. foreign policy by supporting projects that promote economic stability, protect sovereignty, and ensure transparency. DFC investments adhere to high U.S. business standards and respect the environment, human rights, and internationally recognized worker rights. Projects financed by DFC support are subject to a comprehensive environmental and social (E&S) review process, including screening, due diligence, specialized reviews, clearances, and monitoring.

The DFC Office of Development Policy (ODP) seeks to establish an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with a qualified E&S consulting firm (the Contractor) to provide on-demand environmental and social advisory services to support the E&S Risk Management Team across all types of transactions including debt, equity, political risk insurance and financial intermediaries. While this IDIQ is primarily being established in support of ODPs mission, other departments within DFC may require use of this IDIQ to fill contractual needs within the scope of this IDIQ. The IDIQ establishes access to future Task Orders, each of which will define assignment-specific scope, deliverables, hours, and any special requirements, further defined below.

Assignments will be time-sensitive and may require a broad range of specific technical expertise aligned with issues elaborated by the International Finance Corporation (IFC) Performance Standards.[1]1 Support may address multiple E&S topics, occur at various stages of projects’ lifecycles, and be provided on a project-by-project basis. The Contractor will work under DFC direction and in response to Task Orders to support assessment of alignment with the 2024 DFC Environmental and Social Policy and Procedures (ESPP),[2]2 the International Finance Corporation (IFC) Performance Standards (2012), relevant international good practices, and applicable U.S. Government requirements. The Contractor must have access to a range of E&S subject-matter experts able to support thematic E&S issues across different sectors, as described in Section 2. Task Orders may require rapid mobilization and concurrent support across multiple assignments, with timing and response expectations specified at the Task Order level.

In addition to desk-based work, support may include participation in site visits that require domestic or international travel (refer to Section 10 for travel provisions).

2. CONTRACT TYPE

This is an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract under which Task Orders may be issued on a Labor Hour and/or Firm Fixed Price (FFP) basis. The IDIQ proposal should demonstrate firm-wide capability to support the full SOW, while specific staffing and level of effort will be proposed at the Task Order level.

The staffing process is dependent on the availability of suitable candidates in the target countries. The staffing agency will assume responsibility for compliance with all relevant regulations, including employment laws and visa requirements.

Visa and work permit requirements: The success of the project may depend on the ability of selected candidates to obtain the necessary visas, and work permits to work in the designated countries. Assumptions can be made about the ease of obtaining these documents, but it is important to remain aware of any changes in regulations or restrictions that may affect the ability to hire international talent.

Language proficiency: The success of the staffing project may also depend on the language proficiency of the selected candidates. Assumptions can be made about the language skills required for specific roles, but it is important to ensure that language skills are accurately assessed during the recruitment and selection process.

Technology and communication: The success of the project may depend on the availability and functionality of technology and communication tools used for candidate screening, interviewing, and onboarding. Assumptions can be made about the reliability and accessibility of these tools, but it is important to have contingency plans in case of any issues or limitations.

The contractor is reliable for ensuring high-speed internet access is available for all task orders.

If high speed access internet is not available, the contractor must notify the CO and have a contingency plan in place.

Compliance with local laws and regulations: The success of the project may depend on compliance with local laws and regulations in each country where staffing is required.

Assumptions can be made about the relevant laws and regulations, but it is important to verify and comply with all requirements to avoid any legal or financial consequences.

Collaboration with internal and external stakeholders: The success of the project may depend on the collaboration and communication with various internal and external stakeholders, such as hiring managers, recruitment agencies, and legal advisors. Assumptions can be made about the level of collaboration required, but it is important to maintain open lines of communication and engage stakeholders throughout the staffing process.

Availability of resources: The success of the project may depend on the availability of resources, such as personnel, funding, and technology. Assumptions can be made about the availability of these resources, but it is important to monitor and adjust as needed to ensure that the project stays on track.

Currency: All currency will be in US dollars. The contractor shall be responsible for all conversions to US Dollar.

These assumptions and dependencies should be considered throughout the life of the IDIQ to ensure that potential risks and challenges are identified and addressed in a timely manner.
