About this opportunity
USAID's Democratic Republic of Congo mission is seeking a contractor to implement the Feed the Future Resilient Food Systems activity, aimed at increasing income and nutritional status of targeted populations through sustainable food and market systems approaches. The solicitation seeks a 5-year Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee contract to be awarded on a best-value basis, considering both technical and cost factors. Key contract objectives include promoting inclusive agricultural economic growth, increasing community resilience, and enhancing year-round consumption of nutritious food in specific regions. Potential offerors must submit technical and cost proposals by January 27, 2025, with preliminary questions due by December 20, 2024. The evaluation will assess contractors' ability to strengthen local food/agriculture systems, expand market access, increase employment and entrepreneurship, improve productivity, enhance risk management, and promote nutritious food consumption.
The contract has an estimated value between $38-42 million and will focus on two non-contiguous zones: territories in Kongo Central and Kasai Central provinces. No specific set-aside designations are noted for this opportunity. The contract includes a minimum of $4 million for Grants Under Contract to support local enterprises and organizations, with a 6-month inception phase preceding full implementation. Work will be performed primarily in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo, with a requirement for significant staff presence in the target provinces. The contractor must coordinate closely with other USAID activities, particularly the Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance's Tudituale program in Kasai Central. The NAICS code is 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), and the geographic code is 937, indicating potential restrictions on bidding entities.
