The United States Agency for International Development in West Africa (USAID/West Africa) intends to modify Task Order #72062421F00005 implemented by Tetra Tech, ARD for the purpose of extending the current period of performance and completion date specified in the contract by two months and two weeks, from July 19, 2025 to September 30, 2025.

The statutory authority permitting this contract modification without providing full and open competition is AIDAR 706.302-70(a)(2), Citation; 40 U.S.C. 113, Impairment of Foreign Aid Programs, which states: “full and open competition need not be obtained when it would impair or otherwise have an adverse effect on programs conducted for the purposes of foreign aid, relief, and rehabilitation.” This authority pursuant to AIDAR 706.302-70(b)(5) may be used for: “A specific contract for the continued provision of highly-specialized services when an award to another contractor would result in substantial additional costs to the Government or cause unacceptable delays."

The Contractor will continue to promote biodiversity conservation and climate-resilient, low-emissions development in West Africa. This will allow activities to continue through a full cycle of the rainy season, enabling greater impact across the activity objectives.

This Notice does not constitute an award commitment on the part of the Government, nor does it commit the Government to pay for costs incurred in the preparation and responding to the notice.

This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. No solicitation package will be issued. Please refer any questions or comments to the attention of the Contracting Officer, Viktoria Stott Hollosy, with a copy to the Acquisition and Assistance Specialist, Nana Derby, at the email addresses listed and within the active time of the notice indicated above.
