Facilitating Obras por Impuestos

The purpose of this Purchase Order is to contract a short-term, local consulting team to work closely with USAID/Peru and the Peruvian Regional Governments of Huánuco and/or San Martin to facilitate the use of the Obras por Impuestos (Obras) mechanism to improve infrastructure in primary and secondary school(s) in coordination with the Ministry of Education and private sector financing partner(s). The Obra(s) identified should be a primary or secondary school(s) construction in either or both regions. Based on AIDAR 706.302-70, a Justification & Analysis for other than full and open competition was approved by the Contracting Officer on March 31, 2015. This was based on the fact that this purchase is being made by an Overseas Contracting Activity and is under the $250,000 threshold. Sole source was granted because this contractor is uniquely qualified to conduct this activity.
