1.0 - Introduction:

Ongoing humanitarian support requirements around the world require the procurement of

Water Containers for staging in global warehouses.

2.0 – Background:

The United States’ emergency response to current deteriorating humanitarian conditions due to natural disasters and complex emergencies around the world require

USAID/Democracy Conflict and Humanitarian Assistance/Office of Foreign Disaster

Assistance (USAID/DCHA/OFDAA) to immediately purchase commodities to increase warehouse inventory to levels to both support ongoing responses and field operations and provide lifesaving timely responses to unpredictable future disasters. The capacity of the

United States’ Government (USG) to quickly respond to international emergencies is dependent on having access to the requested commodities in a timely manner. To accomplish this, USAID/ OFDA maintains stockpiles of commonly requested materials.

As these commodities are drawn down to fulfill emergency requests, they need to be replenished in preparation for the next emergency situation. This Scope of Work defines

OFDA's requirement for the provision of such service.
