- Description
- The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is conducting a full and open competition to acquire the services of a qualified U.S. Contractor to implement a program to build the capacity of key sectors of indigenous Iraqi civil society and to promote the development of a professional and independent media in Iraq. A vibrant and politically-active civil society is crucial to the future of a democratic and pluralistic Iraq. As Iraq transitions to a fully representative democracy, its citizens must be able to exercise their freedom to associate, express their views publicly, openly debate public policy, and petition their government. Civil society organizations (CSOs) must be willing and able to take on potentially divisive issues such as civic education, women’s rights, government corruption and impunity, and a free, independent, and professional media. The Contractor will administer a program of training, technical assistance, commodities support, and small grants to national, regional, and local level CSOs and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). The Contractor shall be responsible for deploying rapidly to Iraq, providing for its own housing and security and is expected to be fully operational in 30 days. Any resultant contract must include a minimum goal of 10% for small business subcontracting. The base period of performance for this contract is 18 months from the date of award with options for additional services. The estimated dollar value is $40 to $50 million for the base period. The preferred method of distributing the USAID procurement information will be through Federal Business Opportunities (www.fbo.gov). It is anticipated that the RFP will be issued on or about March 26, 2004. It is the responsibility of the recipient of this solicitation to ensure that it has been received in its entirety and USAID bears no responsibility for data error(s) resulting from downloading. All correspondence regarding this notice must be submitted in writing.
