Pilot Project for Sustainable Electricity Distribution

USAID/Haiti Office of Acquisition and Assistance itnends to issue a sole source modification to the National Rural Electrical Cooperative Association of Arlington, VA in the amount of $4,300,000. This procurement is to provide modern electricity services in the Caracol Industrial Park in Haiti and progressively to select adjacent Communes for a period of three years. The modification will increase the period of performance by 12 months. The purpose of the intended award is to provide continuity of critical energy services until a private operator has been procured by the Government of Haiti. The US Government intends to procure from only one source under the agency authority AIDAR 706.302-70 (b)(5) "An award for the continued provision of highly specialized services when award to another resource would result in substantial additional costs to the Government or would result in unacceptable delays." This is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation is available or will be issued.
