The Mongolia Business Plus Initiative, solicitation number 438-11-000001, is a procurement effort issued by USAID Mongolia to secure qualified organizations for a cost-plus-fixed-fee completion type contract. The project has a maximum estimated value of 19.5 million dollars over a five-year period, focusing on private sector support and public outreach. The initiative is managed by the Agency for International Development with primary operations based in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. Amendment number one to the solicitation introduced several critical modifications, including extending the RFP closing date to March 28, 2011, at 4 p.m. Manila time and increasing the offer acceptance period to 120 days. This amendment also revised contract budgets and ceilings in Section B.4, updated technical requirements for private sector support, and modified key personnel requirements. Additionally, the amendment incorporated a locally employed staff payscale and provided formal responses to potential offeror questions to clarify the solicitation process.
