Questions are due by April 2, 2021 and offers must be submitted by April 23, 2021 or the newly amended deadline of May 5, 2021.

Data will be collected from businesses in Côte d'Ivoire and analysis will assess sectors yet to be determined. Evaluation criteria are technical capability, past performance, and price, with the first two being more significant than price.
