Synopsis

Prosper Africa Trade and Investment

7200AA21C00056

The PoP extension is proposed for one year, moving the contract’s end date from September 24, 2026 to September 24, 2027. The ceiling would increase from $520,757,945 to $575,757,945.

This request is driven by sustained demand for ATI’s services from Missions and Presidential initiatives, which have surpassed initial estimates. The buy-in amounts during the first three years of operations have nearly reached the current ceiling, with a significant portion already committed. Additional demand beyond the existing ceiling has been identified, and a ceiling increase requires an extension of the period of performance to accommodate new buy-ins after the end of 2024. Without an increase in both the ceiling and period of performance, ATI’s ability to support U.S. government priorities—such as economic development, trade, and investment in Africa—will be severely constrained in the coming years.

The ceiling and PoP increase will also provide time for the next administration to inform the design of the next pan-African mechanism while ensuring USAID maintains an ability to respond to ongoing and new priorities without interruption. The current procurement plan includes milestones to ensure the new mechanism is awarded prior to the end date of this extension.

This synopsis is not a request for competitive proposals. Please refer any questions to Daniel Moore, Contracting Officer at danmoore@usaid.gov or Masood Khan, Contract Specialist, at maskhan@usaid.gov.

Sincerely, Daniel Moore
