PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

Statement of Work (SOW) Environmental & Social Support Services Office of Development Policy (ODP) U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC)

1. BACKGROUND

The U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) is the U.S. Government’s Development Finance Institution. DFC partners with the private sector to mobilize capital for strategic investments worldwide that foster economic development, support U.S. interests, and deliver returns to American taxpayers. Launched in 2019, DFC helps to advance U.S. foreign policy by supporting projects that promote economic stability, protect sovereignty, and ensure transparency. DFC investments adhere to high U.S. business standards and respect the environment, human rights, and internationally recognized worker rights. Projects financed by DFC support are subject to a comprehensive environmental and social (E&S) review process, including screening, due diligence, specialized reviews, clearances, and monitoring.

The DFC Office of Development Policy (ODP) seeks to establish an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with a qualified E&S consulting firm (the Contractor) to provide on-demand environmental and social advisory services to support the E&S Risk Management Team across all types of transactions including debt, equity, political risk insurance and financial intermediaries. While this IDIQ is primarily being established in support of ODPs mission, other departments within DFC may require use of this IDIQ to fill contractual needs within the scope of this IDIQ. The IDIQ establishes access to future Task Orders, each of which will define assignment-specific scope, deliverables, hours, and any special requirements, further defined below.

Assignments will be time-sensitive and may require a broad range of specific technical expertise aligned with issues elaborated by the International Finance Corporation (IFC) Performance Standards.[1]1 Support may address multiple E&S topics, occur at various stages of projects’ lifecycles, and be provided on a project-by-project basis. The Contractor will work under DFC direction and in response to Task Orders to support assessment of alignment with the 2024 DFC Environmental and Social Policy and Procedures (ESPP),[2]2 the International Finance Corporation (IFC) Performance Standards (2012), relevant international good practices, and applicable U.S. Government requirements. The Contractor must have access to a range of E&S subject-matter experts able to support thematic E&S issues across different sectors, as described in Section 2. Task Orders may require rapid mobilization and concurrent support across multiple assignments, with timing and response expectations specified at the Task Order level.

In addition to desk-based work, support may include participation in site visits that require domestic or international travel (refer to Section 10 for travel provisions).

2. CONTRACT TYPE

This is an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract under which Task Orders may be issued on a Labor Hour and/or Firm Fixed Price (FFP) basis.
