USAID/Burma Diversity and Inclusion Scholarship Program (DISP)

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID)/Burma Mission is seeking proposals from qualified organizations interested in providing services as described in the attached solicitation.
This competitive procurement will be conducted through full and open competition. This competition will utilize a Highest Technical Rated with Fair and Reasonable Price and Realistic Cost (HTR) process, not a tradeoff process. In this process, USAID is concerned with getting the best technical solution that has a fair and reasonable price and realistic cost. There will not be a tradeoff  to justify paying a premium for a higher technical rated proposal.
All types of organizations (large or small commercial for-profit firms, educational institutions, and non-profit organizations) meeting USAID source and nationality geographic code 937 are eligible to compete. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code for this action is 541611 — Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services. 
USAID encourages the participation to the maximum extent possible of small business concerns, small disadvantaged business concerns and women-owned small business concerns in this activity as a prime contractor or as a subcontractor, in accordance with Part 19 of the FAR.
USAID/Burma intends to award a Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF) Completion type contract for five years with a total estimated cost between $43,000,000 to $48,000,000. Revealing the estimated cost for the contract does not mean that Offerors should necessarily strive to meet the maximum amount estimated. Offerors must propose costs that they believe are realistic and reasonable for the work described in their proposal.
