Anti-Fraud and Corruption (AFC) Advisors

Solicitation 95332421Q0039

Amendment 0001

Questions and Answers

1. If known, what countries are anticipated to be visited to conduct the field AFC trainings?

Answer: Field AFC trainings will be provided to countries that have signed compact programs or threshold programs with MCC. Most countries with existing programs have already received training, but new countries sign programs every year. For more information, please review MCC’s Where We Work web page at:

https://www.mcc.gov/where-we-work .

2. Task 2 mentions performing AFC training for “relevant government counterparts”; what groups would this entail?

Answer: On occasion, the participants in the AFC training delivered to MCAs includes a handful of representatives from relevant government agencies that will be receiving assistance under the MCC-funded program. To date, MCC has not provided individualized training to partner government agencies, and MCC does not currently have plans to do so.

3. Will MCC provide security for the contractors in the field?

Answer: In all cases, the Senior AFC Advisors will be traveling with MCC personnel, and any visits outside of the capital city in a particular country will be with local counterparts as well. Additional security has not been required to date, but should it be, MCC anticipates that the Senior AFC Advisor would be with MCC personnel and would benefit from whatever security provisions are made for them.

4. The Mandatory Qualifications require a graduate degree in fields such as economics, law, business administration, social sciences, policy analysis, or public administration. Does a graduate degree in Fraud & Forensics, with an undergraduate degree in Business Administration, satisfy this requirement?

Answer: Yes.

5. Is there an incumbent contractor currently performing these services, if similar services have been performed in the past; or if this is a new requirement. Further, if this is a follow-on requirement, please provide the previous contract/task order number.

Answer: The incumbent contractor is MBO Partners, Inc. of Herndon VA; the relative contract numbers are:

95332418A0006/95332418F0347 and 95332418F0348.
