JOFOC USAID CAREER TRANSITION.pdf

This document is a Single Source Justification (JOFOC) form for a sole source contract awarded by USAID/Benin to Afrique Conseil for Career Transition and Outplacement Services. The contract, valued at $90,000, will provide tailored career counseling, job search assistance, and transition planning services to Foreign Service Nationals (FSNs) at the U.S. Embassy in Cotonou, Benin. The primary objective is to support FSN staff in their career reduction process by helping them secure new employment swiftly, either with another organization or as self-employed entrepreneurs.

The justification is based on the urgency of the requirement and Afrique Conseil's unique qualifications, including decades of experience, a team of certified professionals, and a proven track record from a similar contract executed in 2006. The contract will be awarded on a sole source basis under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b)(1), with the Contracting Officer determining that Afrique Conseil is the only source reasonably available to meet the agency's needs. The contract is intended to be awarded for a 90-day period, with the Contracting Officer certifying that the anticipated cost is fair and reasonable.
