SECTION D – ANY CONTRACT DOCUMENTS, EXHIBITS OR ATTACHMENTS

D.1. PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

DEFINITIONAL MISSION FOR TURKEY: SMART CITY AND ICT DEVELOPMENT

D.1.1. OVERVIEW

The U.S. Trade and Development Agency (USTDA) is a foreign assistance agency that delivers its program commitments through grants and contracts. The projects supported by USTDA activities represent strong and measurable development priorities in the host country and offer opportunities for the sale of U.S. goods and services. Requests for USTDA assistance are made by either public or private sector project sponsors for implementation in developing and middle income countries.

D.1.2. SCOPE OF WORK

USTDA requires services under this non-personal services Definitional Mission (“DM”) contract to support its decision-making relative to the funding of activities to support integrated smart city planning focused on intelligent transportation, smart utilities (energy and water management), and operations management, as well as ICT development, including 5G, fiber optic solutions, and cybersecurity. The Contractor shall have at least one (1) employee proficient (i.e. speaking and reading) in Turkish at the advanced professional proficiency level (Level 4) (as defined by the U.S. Department of State) (i.e., for speaking: able to use the language fluently and accurately on all levels; and for reading: nearly native ability to read and understand extremely difficult or abstract prose).

The Contractor shall provide Project Reports for up to four (4) activities for USTDA funding consideration and one Final Report in cumulation to USTDA. USTDA reserves the right to make the final determination on which activities merit consideration for the Project Reports.

The Final Report, unless otherwise directed by USTDA, shall be labeled clearly on every page as “Business Confidential” and shall be treated accordingly per sections D.11, “Confidentiality,” and D.12, “Intellectual Property.”

The purpose of the Final Report is to:

1. Assess and provide a recommendation on whether USTDA should provide funding for the proposed feasibility study(ies), technical assistance, pilot project(s), or other activity(ies), hereinafter referred to as “activity(ies)”;

2. Develop terms of reference and budgets for at least four (4) activities for USTDA funding consideration.

o If Contractor is having difficulty meeting this requirement, the Contractor must discuss the findings of the mission with the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) in advance of writing the draft Final Report.

o The Contractor shall obtain the COR’s written approval before developing any activity beyond the four (4) activities.

4. In addition, the Contractor shall assess the potential of the relevant market sector in the host country for U.S. suppliers of goods and services in each Project Report and in the Final Report.

5. The Contractor shall include all Project Reports in a cumulative Final Report to USTDA.

The Contractor will not be paid for reports that are not approved or completed.

The actual number of deliverables/reports against this contract is dependent on the success of the Definitional Mission and availability of projects. Therefore, not all deliverables may be required or be possible and the figures provided for the Project Reports are not-to-exceed ceiling figures and not actual figures. The Contractor shall only invoice for work/deliverables actually completed. Any unexpended funds will be de-obligated from the contract at close-out.

e) Involve U.S. companies that are facing market entry problems and/or strong competition from foreign companies which often receive subsidies and other support from their governments.

To execute this requirement, the Contractor shall:

Development, the World Bank, International Finance Corporation, and Islamic Development Bank via conference calls, webinars, and/or in-person meetings;

5. Conduct initial meetings with stakeholders, prior to travel, to begin the identification and evaluation of at least four (4) project opportunities;

6. Travel to Turkey, on two (2) separate trips, for at least ten (10) business days during each trip, to meet with prospective grantees and other relevant stakeholders;

7. Identify and evaluate at least four (4) project opportunities and provide recommendations for USTDA funding.

8. Develop Terms of Reference and budgets for each recommended USTDA activity;

9. Assess the anticipated impact of each recommended project opportunity, clearly identifying the relevant development impact indicators and anticipated outcomes, as well as the U.S. export potential, anticipated financing sources, and the likelihood of successful implementation;

10. Conduct a climate resilience screening for each recommended project opportunity;

and

11. Provide a full analysis and recommendations to USTDA in a Final Report.

For each of the four (4) activities to be recommended to USTDA, the Contractor shall develop a stand-alone Project Report. The requirements for the Project Reports are further detailed in section D.1.7, Reports.

D.1.4. CLIMATE RESILIENCE SCREENING

Per Executive Order (EO) 13677, USTDA is required to consider climate resilience in its international development work. The Agency has determined that in order to be compliant with the EO, climate resilience screenings must be conducted at the project scoping stage for all feasibility studies (FS) and technical assistance (TA) activities. Accordingly, the Contractor shall conduct a climate resilience screening utilizing the guidance provided in Attachment VII.

D.1.5. PROJECT PROFILE

In 2020, the MENA-EE Regional Team created the U.S.-Turkey Next Generation Cities Initiative to showcase U.S. smart city technologies and solutions. The initiative was created in response to increased interest among Turkish stakeholders and U.S. industry regarding smart city investments. To-date, three grant activities have been funded to support smart city development in Turkey.

Over the past several months, the MENA-EE Regional Team has held discussions with the Digital Transformation Office of the Presidency of the Republic of Turkey (“DTO”) regarding their ICT and smart city priorities. DTO was established in 2018 by Presidential Decree and is tasked with bringing various digital transformation, cyber security, 5G, big data, open data, and artificial intelligence activities pursued by public institutions under one umbrella organization.

DTO is also tasked with developing and coordinating projects, strategies, and roadmaps to advance Turkey’s digital transformation under the “Digital Türkiye” initiative.

The Turkish Government is prioritizing investment in the ICT sector, specifically focused on 5G, fiber optic solutions, and cybersecurity solutions. In 2019, the Turkish government allocated $5 billion in spending on 5G technologies. Turkey’s Information and Communication Technologies Authority (“BTK”) is leading 5G efforts in Turkey. BTK established the ‘New Generation Mobile Communication Technologies Turkey Forum’, which is made up of government, universities, manufacturers, operators and NGOs. In addition, Turkey’s telecom operators are seeking to enhance ICT infrastructure through expansion of fiber optic infrastructure in the coming years. BTK and Turkey’s Ministry of Communications and Transportation are leading the government’s cybersecurity efforts and are seeking to incorporate ICT security systems within Ministries. The Turkish Government plans to invest in hardware and software to enhance cybersecurity systems.

The DM would focus on municipal level smart city planning and recommend potential USTDA projects to support integrated planning focused on intelligent transportation, smart utilities (energy and water management), and operations management. In addition, the DM would focus on ICT development, including 5G, fiber optic solutions, and cybersecurity. The proposed DM would initially connect with relevant U.S. companies interested in smart cities and ICT development projects in Turkey and prospective grantees and other stakeholders via conference calls and/or webinars. Should the COVID-19 pandemic pimpact travel, the DM will be expected to develop projects virtually to the greatest extent possible. Barring travel restrictions, the proposed DM would travel to Turkey on two (2) separate trips, for at least ten (10) business days each, to meet with relevant stakeholders. The recommendations would include Terms of References (TOR) and budgets for at least four (4) activities related to smart cities and ICT development.
