Notice of Intent to Negotiate a Non-Competitive Contract Modification

USAID/El Salvador hereby provides notice of its intention to modify contract number 72051918C00002 with Nathan Associates, Inc. for the Regional Trade Facilitation and Border Management (RTFBM) Activity in order to extend the period of performance by nine months and increase the total estimated cost by $700,000.00.

Under this proposed modification, the contractor will provide continued support to Central America's economic integration with emphasis in the Deep Integration Process between governments of El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala.

The purpose of the RTFBM contract is the implementation of the Regional Trade Facilitation and Border Management Activity whose main goal is to contribute to the Central American countries' broad-based economic growth by enhancing regional integration and improving trade facilitation.  It has two main components: Component 1-Central American economic integration enhanced with enphasis in the Northern Triangle; and Component 2- Comprehensive implementation of the WTO Trade Facilitation Agreement supported.

The extension will allow the contractor to continue its regional support enhancing integration and will allow for the US Government to avoid a disruption in its support for the Deep Integration Process.  The activities to be completed are not new, they are in line with the current scope of the contract. 

Awarded contract 72051918C00002 to unknown vendor for unknown amount on 2018-07-20.
