Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET) Technology Support Contract (TSC)

The United States Government, represented by the U.S. Agency for International Development, Office of Food for Peace under the Bureau for Democracy, Conflict, and Humanitarian Assistance (USAID/DCHA/FFP), intends to enter into a Cost Reimbursement Contract with Kimetrica, LLC, without competition for a period of six (6) months to continue to service the custom-built Data Warehouse software to meet the specific requirements of the FEWS NET program and its four associated inter-agency partners. It is a centralized web-based system which offers real-time inter-action with more than 200 FEWS NET field and headquarters staff. An award for the continued provision of highly specialized and custom-built services to another resource would result in unacceptable delays. The proposed contractor is critical to the mission of USAID and is in the best interest of the United States Government. This notice is published in accordance with FAR 5.201 and FAR 5.203.
