Notice of Intent- J&A Award no: AID-391-C-15-00012

The United States Government, represented by the U.S. Agency for International Development/Pakistan intends to modify the Pakistan Regional Economic Integration Activity (PREIA) to extend the period of performance by two years and increase the ceiling by an additional $3,100,000 with the same contractor for the similar services. The proposed extension will ensure the Contractot to continue providing technical assistance to meet urgent U.S. foreign assistance priorities in facilitating expanded trade. Specially now more than ever, continued USG development assistance has become critical for supporting communities’ livelihoods, peace and security in Pak-Afghan cross-border regions as U.S. and allied military withdrawal is expected to further weaken Afghanistan’s economy . Continuing performance of the proposed activities with the same contractor is critical to the mission of USAID and is in the best interest of the United States Government. A Justification and Approval (J&A) pursuant to FAR 6.305 will be publicized after the modification is executed.
