PRE-AWARD SYNOPSIS/POSTING: MARCH 4, 2021

Solicitation Number: 72061718C00004

Notice Type: Pre-solicitation

Synopsis:

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Uganda, intends to make a sole source award to RHITES North Lango for the purpose of the construction of an office block at the

Uganda Ministry of Health (MoH) in Kampala, Uganda. The office block will provide new office space for MoH staff who will be moved into this new office block from the main MoH building. The construction of the office block is expected to take 12 months from commencement of the works, including six months for the construction itself and six months for the defects liability period (DLP).

Under an existing contract 72061718C00004, John Snow Inc. (JSI) is currently implementing construction activities. However, due to the design and construction of the annex, an additional

$650,000 will be required to fulfill the program objectives of the original award. The statutory authority permitting this award without providing full and open competition is AIDAR 706.302-70(b)(5) which allows for “[a]n award for the continued provision of highly specialized services when awarded to another resource would result in substantial additional costs to the Government or would result in unacceptable delays.” Using full and open competition for this action will result in additional costs to the U.S. Government and cause unacceptable delays. No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals.
