Audit Services for Grants in Kenya

The Bureau of the Public Debt, representing the United States African Development Foundation (USADF), is seeking to award a contract for grant audit services in Kenya through a non-competitive procurement process consistent with 48 CFR 5706. This approach is authorized because full and open competition would negatively impact foreign aid, relief, and rehabilitation programs. USADF’s mission includes fostering strong bonds between African communities and the United States, promoting local self-help for community development, and encouraging active African participation in their own development. The contract specifically requires engagement with auditors who are approved by the USAID Office of Inspector General and possess specialized expertise relevant to this auditing need. The solicitation, identified as ADF-AUD-15-0004 and posted on February 12, 2015, invites only qualified and pre-approved auditors to perform specific audit deliverables related to grants administered in Kenya. The anticipated award date is on or after February 22, 2015. The procurement falls under the NAICS code 541211, indicating accounting and auditing services. No responses to the notice will be accepted as it is not a request for quotations; however, interested parties may direct inquiries to the provided contact email. This contract emphasizes the importance of informed audit oversight in support of USADF’s foreign aid objectives and ensures compliance with statutory provisions guiding non-competitive procurements in such contexts.
