Intent to Modify Contract Action

The United States Agency for International Development in Southern Africa (USAID/Southern Africa) intends to modify Deloitte Consulting LLP (Deloitte) contract # AID-674-C-17-00002 for the purpose of increasing the contract Total Estimated Cost (TEC) by up to $5,000,000, from the current from $69,955,372 to $74,036,372 and extending the current period of performance and completion date specified in the contract (March 15, 2017 – June 14, 2023) by twelve months to June 14, 2024.

The statutory authority permitting this contract modification without providing full and open competition is AIDAR 706.302-70(b)(5), based on the authority provided by 40 U.S.C. 113(e)(2)), provides an exception to full and open competition when it would impair or otherwise have an adverse effect on programs conducted for the purposes of foreign aid, relief, and rehabilitation.  

The prime contractor, Deloitte will continue to support activities aligned specifically with the Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP) to help South Africa transition from coal to renewable energy.  In particular, the efforts will focus on Outcomes 1, 2, 4, and 5 under the contract as recent developments with JETP have led to increased requirements for Deloitte’s services. 

No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals.
