AI Contract Overview
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) plans to issue a solicitation for proposals to install, operate, and maintain a 10MW solar photovoltaic (PV) system in Kandahar, Afghanistan. This project aims to address short-term power deficits in the region as the current diesel generator subsidy provided by the U.S. Government ends in September 2015. The power produced by the solar system will be sold to Da Afghanistan Breshna Sherkat (DABS), the Afghan power utility, under a 15-year power purchase agreement (PPA). This initiative is a joint effort between USAID and DABS, with USAID providing viability gap funding (VGF) to help cover construction costs and incentivize eligible bidders. The fixed electricity tariff will be determined through a reverse auction process by the participating offerors. USAID will administer the contract on behalf of both USAID and DABS, requiring the successful offeror to sign both the contract and the PPA concurrently. The upcoming Request for Proposals (RFP) will be published on the Federal Business Opportunities website, and contractors are encouraged to monitor updates there. Award of the contract is contingent upon funding availability, with no obligation for USAID to issue a solicitation or procure services. The primary points of contact for this opportunity are Acquisition and Assistance Specialist Sam Nagwere and Contracting Officer Gregory Wang. The installation and operation of the solar PV system will take place in Kandahar Province, contributing to Afghanistan’s renewable energy development and power sector sustainability.
