The United States Agency for International Development, Cambodia (USAID/Cambodia) intends to release a solicitation for the USAID Natural Resource Management Outreach and Communications Activity. The purpose of this activity is to use evidence-based communication to empower Cambodian citizens and civil society with the knowledge and skills they need to effectively engage in protection of Cambodia's unique biodiversity and critical forest ecosystems. USAID/Cambodia solicited comments on the draft Statement of Objectives (SOO) in the Request for Information No. RFI-442-19-001 published on www.fbo.gov earlier.

USAID/Cambodia contemplates award of a Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee Completion type contract with a period of performance of five-years. This solicitation will be a total small business set aside.

The anticipated solicitation date is on or about April 12, 2019. There is currently no incumbent contractor performing the work.

Except for the above information, no additional information regarding this planned RFP is available at this time. All necessary information will be supplied at the time the RFP is posted at www.fbo.gov. Questions/requests for information will not be responded to until RFP issuance. Interested parties are advised to periodically monitor the above website for updates concerning this procurement. No proposals for funding should be submitted until after the RFP is issued.

This notice does not obligate USAID to release a solicitation or award a contract nor does it commit the Government to pay for costs incurred in the preparation and submission of a proposal. In addition, final award cannot be made until funds have been fully appropriated, allocated, and committed and internal USAID procedures have been completed.
