RFI 72011423RFI00006 - USAID Data-Driven Collaborating and Adapting Activity

USAID/Georgia intends to issue a solicitation for the activity preliminarily entitled “USAID Data-Driven Collaborating, Learning, and Adapting (CLA) Support Services.” The purpose of the activity is to enable data-driven decision-making and evidence-based collaborating, learning, and adapting within and amongst USAID/Georgia and its partners to improve program management and development impact in Georgia. As development programs continue to adapt to the rapidly-changing and dynamic operating environment in Georgia, USAID/Georgia requires access to up-to-date/on-demand contextual information, systems and processes to coordinate timely programmatic responses, and qualitative and quantitative context data to advance the goal and development objectives of its 2020-2025 Country Development Cooperation Strategy. As information sources and data points continue to grow, the Mission also requires comprehensive knowledge capture, retention, transfer, and management practices to support evidence-based decision-making and efficiently and effectively facilitate CLA approaches within USAID/Georgia and amongst implementing partners. Additionally, the Mission requires performance improvement services for its strategic partners, and an approach that fundamentally ensures responsiveness to program participant feedback regarding USAID’s assistance. Following conducting market research, USAID intends to limit competition pursuant to FAR 19.5, by which it will set aside participation in this procurement to U.S. Small Business concerns. USAID anticipates awarding one cost reimbursement-plus-fixed-fee term contract with a period of performance of approximately five (5) years, with an estimated cost range between $10-18 million, subject to availability of funds. USAID anticipates that the NAICS Code for this contract will be: 541611. The NAICS Code is incorrectly stated in the USAID Business Forecast and due to technical difficulties has not been revised to reflect this correct NAICS Code of 541611. This is not a Request for Proposal, Request for Information or Sources Sought notice. USAID currently anticipates that the solicitation will be issued in late January or early February 2024. The USAID Business Forecast will be updated if there are any changes to this timing.
