RFQ No.: Request for Quotations – Agricultural Commodities
Response Deadline: 4:00PM ET, Friday, January 24, 2014
Description:
The purpose of the Consolidation and Enhanced Livelihood Initiative-Central Region (CELI-Central) USAID contract is to advance U.S. Government (USG) and Government of Colombia (GOC) goals and results related to implementation of the Colombia Strategic Development Initiative (CSDI) and the GOC’s National Consolidation Plan (PNC). The basic premise of the CELI-Central contract is that armed conflict and the illicit economy are inextricably linked to weak state presence. Therefore, contract activities will seek to strengthen state presence as the GOC recovers territory and creates conditions favorable to permanent territorial security. Once territory is secured by the armed forces, immediate assistance will be provided to those veredas (neighborhood communities) affected by conflict. Project activities will help to build confidence in the GOC, provide the opportunity to build relations between communities and local government, and respond to local dynamics.
An electronic copy of the RFQ may be requested by email from Devon.Pearlin@tetratech.com. Phone requests will not be honored.
Proposals must be received no later than 4:00PM ET, Friday, January 24, 2014
