Potential Impact of COVID-19 on Procurement

As of the posting date of this solicitation, COVID-19 is still impacting Millennium Challenge Corporation

(MCC) operations. This may lead to revisions in certain terms of this requirement in order to ensure tasks can proceed safely. In particular, activities involving international and/or domestic travel may be delayed and/or modified. MCC will only approve the start of fieldwork under this requirement once the target country relaxes social distancing and removes travel-related restrictions.

When in-country work begins, the contractor will be expected to take precautions to protect their staff, enumerators, respondents, and other stakeholders from COVID-19 exposure. This can include using face masks, checking enumerator temperatures daily before going out in the field, and considering the possibility of phone interviews rather than in-person interviews. Should any delays be necessary due to

COVID-19, the contractor shall inform MCC as soon as possible to discuss the best course of action.
