TCN-PSC Sr. A&A Specialist Extension

The United States Agency for International Development, Mission to Burma (USAID/Burma) intends to modify Contract No. AID-482-S-16-00002 with an off­ shore hired Third Country National Personal Services Contract (TCNPSC), Senior Acquisition and Assistance Specialist using AIDAR706.302-70(b)(5) follow-on specialized services. The award will be modified to extend the contract by one year on a full term basis and increase the total estimated cost by approximately $145,000 from $286,768 to $431,768. The extension is from June 20, 2018 to June 19, 2019. Under this action, the incumbent will continue to provide procurement support to USAID programs in Burma. As the principal assistant to the Contracting/Agreement Officer (CO) based in Rangoon, Burma, the incumbent shall be required to apply highly specialized procurement skills and knowledge involving complex agreements. This includes providing staff support on all aspects of procurement management relating to and affecting USAID acquisition and assistance programs, policy and project planning, design, implementation and evaluation. Dollar values of procurement instruments range up to the multi-million level, and terms of the agreements are most commonly multi-year, though smaller agreements may run for a year or less. For the next two fiscal years, the mission will have significant actions. Furthermore, a permanent CO is not expected to arrive until late fall of 2018, and as a result the Mission can expect varying CO coverage, elevating the critical nature of maintaining a senior A&A Specialist. The action will not be competed and a solicitation will not be publicized in accordance with AIDAR 705.102(d). This synopsis is to satisfy the requirement of AIDAR 706.302-70(c)(3).
