About this opportunity

The United States Agency for International Development Nepal seeks proposals to provide technical services for the Karnali Water Security Activity through a multi-phase solicitation process. Offerors must first submit a Proposed Technical Concept by specified deadlines responding to objectives of improving water security, watershed management, and coordination among USAID activities in Nepal's Karnali region. USAID will evaluate submitted concepts as Acceptable or Unacceptable and invite only Acceptable offerors to submit a full proposal in response to a subsequent request for proposals.

There is no set-aside designation. USAID contemplates awarding a cost-plus-fixed-fee completion type contract for up to five years with a total estimated budget of $24.8 million to benefit approximately 145,000 individuals with drinking water and multiple-use water systems and 210,000 with fecal sludge treatment plants. Key interventions include construction of water supply systems, multiple use water infrastructure, and fecal sludge treatment plants to increase access to safe drinking water and water for agriculture across four objectives addressing integrated water resource management and governance.
