About this opportunity
This Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice from the US Agency for International Development Moldova requests approval for a $20 million cost increase modification to an existing contract with Chemonics International to expand the scope of the Future Technologies Activity contract to include an Economic Recovery and Resilience Program in response to the crisis triggered by the war in Ukraine. The additional funding would support $9 million in grants to SMEs and an estimated $11 million for technical assistance programs focused on ICT, creative industries, light industry, and precision engineering, leveraging Chemonics International's experience and relationships developed over seven years of implementing similar programs in the country.
Notice text
This is the J&A for other than full and open competition pursuant to the authorities under the Expedited Acquisition and Assistance Procedures Package (EPP) for Ukraine, Belarus, and Moldova, approved on March 6, 2022 by the Administrator.
USAID/Moldova is negotiating with Chemonics International to provide a cost increase, adding $20 million to increase the total estimated cost of the Future Technologies Activity (FTA),Contract # 72011721C00001; a time extension is not required. Under this action, Chemonics International will expand to include an Economic Recovery and Resilience Program as an additional component of FTA.
Pursuant to the authority set forth in AIDAR 706.302-70(b)(3) and 40 U.S.C. §113, and Expedited Procedures Package (EPP) for Ukraine, Belarus, and Moldova approved by the USAID Administrator on March 6, 2022, this will be a cost extension based on initial competitive order procurement with Chemonics International.
The approved EPP provides authorization to except competition for current awards. USAID has implemented this provision through 48 CFR §706.302-70(b)(3)(ii), which provides an exception to competition for "awards for countries, regions, projects, or programs for which the Administrator of USAID made a formal written Determination and Findings (D&F). The use of the EPP authority for using less than full-and-open competitive procedures for FTA procurement will allow the Mission to expeditiously implement the activity in as responsive a manner as possible, supporting reforms and programs to stimulate economic recovery.
The expansion would increase the FTA Grants Under Contract (GUC) component by $9 million (to an estimated $15 million total) and include an additional estimated $11 million in technical assistance to support new and urgent economic recovery programming to USAID’s targeted economic sectors: ICT, creative industries, light industry (textiles, apparel, footwear, and leather), and precision engineering.
For details please see attached the J&A and the D&F.
Awarded contract 72011721C00001 to unknown vendor for unknown amount on 2021-06-23.
