Proposed Modification for Employment Skill Development Technical Assistance in Kosovo

Added: Jan 17, 2018 11:51 am This is a justification and approval to modify the existing contract AID-167-C-14-00005 Empower Private Sector (EPS) activity increasing the ceiling and extending the term of contract to increase and expand additional technical assistance and grant activities in support of Kosovo's small and medium-sized enterprises and new employment opportunities. Proposed activities will prioritize skills development directly linked with employer needs and employment opportunities, but will focus efforts in Foreign Terrorist Fighter (FTF) hotspots in Kosovo.

Justification and Approval of other than Full and Open Competition under AIDAR 706.302-70 (b)(5) sets forth facts and rationale for "an award for the continued provision of highly specialized services when award to another resource would result in substantial additional costs to the government or would result in unacceptable delays."
