Dear Prospective Offerors:

The United States Government represented by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Mission in Haiti is seeking proposals from qualified organizations to provide services described in the attached RFP.

Entitled “USAID/Haiti Livestock Market System” Activity seeks to increase resilience of households and communities in the Northern and Southern Resilience Focus Zones through the improvement of Livestock market systems.

USAID/Haiti anticipates the award of one (1) Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF) completion contract with a period of performance of five (5) years. In order to understand the magnitude of USAID’s requirement the government estimates a level of effort of between 6,500 and 7,500 staff person days per year, exclusive of consultants (this is an estimate only). The total estimated cost range of the planned award is $19,000,000.00 and $23,000,000.00.

This procurement is being conducted through full and open competition under which any type of organization (large or small commercial [for profit] firms, educational institutions, non-profit organizations) is eligible to compete.

Proposals must be prepared in accordance with the instructions provided in Section L and will be evaluated based on the evaluation criteria contained in Section M of this RFP. Offerors are encouraged to submit their proposals no later than the closing date and time specified above. Late proposals will not be accepted.

If changes are made to the closing date and time, as well as other aspects of the RFP, this solicitation will be amended. Amendments will be issued and posted on Beta.Sam.Gov at the following address (https://beta.sam.gov). Offerors are encouraged to monitor this website periodically for such posting. All questions and requests for clarification must be submitted electronically no later than the deadline noted above to usaidhaitioaa@usaid.gov.

Issuance of this solicitation does not constitute an award commitment on the part of the U.S. Government, nor does it commit the U.S. Government to pay for any costs incurred in the preparation or submission of a proposal. Furthermore, the U.S. Government reserves the right to reject any offer, if such action is considered to be in the best interest of the U.S. Government.
