About this opportunity
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in Ukraine is seeking proposals to implement the Support for Trade, Recovery Opportunities, and National Growth in Ukraine (STRONG-UA) activity, aimed at supporting Ukrainian small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The solicitation seeks a contractor to help SMEs invest in recovery and growth, develop new market linkages, and enhance innovation and competitiveness. USAID will use a Highest Technical Rated with Fair and Reasonable Price and Realistic Cost evaluation process to select a contractor, with proposals due by January 6, 2025, at 4:00 pm Kyiv local time. The RFP outlines five key focus areas: capital mobilization for SMEs, mobilizing new co-investments, creating market linkages, enhancing innovation, and expediting business competitiveness reforms. Technically acceptable proposals will undergo a rigorous price analysis using standard deviation methodology to determine price reasonableness.
The contract is not set aside for any specific business category and will be a cost-plus-fixed-fee term contract with a base period of two years and three one-year option periods. USAID anticipates awarding a single contract with an estimated total level of effort of 55,255 person days of professional technical staff over the full five-year period. The place of performance is Kyiv, Ukraine, with the contract subject to the availability of funds. The government's budget template indicates detailed cost requirements across multiple budget categories, including labor, fringe benefits, travel, equipment, supplies, and subcontracts. Offerors are encouraged to propose maximum flexibility and adaptive designs, with particular emphasis on the base period given the urgent needs in Ukraine. The contract will be classified under NAICS category 541611 for Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services.
