DOS- INL Haiti SMEs

The Department of State Office of Acquisition Management seeks qualified contractors to provide Subject Matter Expert Level Advisors, logistics support for Haiti National Police (HNP) School and Academy Facilities, special projects, and life and mission support services to the in-country Program Management Office. The contractor will support the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) mission to strengthen Haiti's law enforcement capabilities across training, territorial control, logistics, intelligence, community policing, and anti-gang development. Key requirements include deploying 14 key personnel positions, conducting medical and psychological evaluations, managing inventory, coordinating personnel vetting, and ensuring compliance with trafficking in persons prevention guidelines. The government will evaluate proposals using a best value tradeoff source selection process, with evaluation factors including mandatory minimum requirements (Haitian business license, prior experience, and phase-in plan), past performance, and technical capabilities such as key personnel qualifications, staffing and compensation plans, housing approach, program management, and quality control. The solicitation is structured as a two-phase procurement, with Phase I proposals due November 25, 2025, notification of the advisory down-select by December 5, 2025, and Phase II proposals due subsequently, with a minimum offer acceptance period of 150 calendar days.

This is a competitive 8(a) set-aside solicitation exclusively for certified 8(a) Business Development Program participants, with no identified incumbent contractor. The contract is a hybrid award combining cost-reimbursement and firm-fixed-price contract line items with a base period and four option years, though specific award values and budget ranges are not disclosed in the available solicitation materials. The pricing structure includes fully burdened labor costs, inventory management, program management, other direct costs, DBA insurance, and a surge labor CLIN with a $500,000 not-to-exceed cap. Contractors must provide comprehensive staffing solutions including personnel recruitment, medical screening, housing arrangements, and quality control mechanisms to support the HNP's operational and institutional development objectives. The principal place of performance is Haiti, with the Program Management Office to be established in Port-au-Prince to coordinate advisory services and logistical support for the duration of the contract.
