No. Questions/Comments Answer

1. The ceiling for the procurement is $100,000 and that the work covers five ministries. Is there any flexibility on the ceiling of the procurement?

The U.S. Government estimated cost for this requirement is not to exceed $100,000. If a Bidder’s proposed price differs from the US Government cost estimate, anyway, a company is free to submit its price for the required services under this RFP.
