Institutional Strengthening of the Government of Peru to implement the National Counternarcotic Policy

Amendment No. 2 (Sept 5, 2024) is currently part of the attachments. The full text of the clarification is as follows: On August 29, 2024, USAID published Modification No. 1 to the above Solicitation to respond to questions and provide a readout of the Post-Solicitation Conference. In response to question No. 43, USAID states the following in Modification No 1: A43. a. Offerors cannot propose or use the $1,500,000 plug figure if they do not intend to use GUCs. Offerors who opt not to use the GUC component must program the $1,500,000 in accordance with their technical approach. b. Yes, the $1.5 million GUC plug figure is included in the $10 million total cost of this project. USAID acknowledges the confusing nature of the answer, and NOW REPHRASES IT AS FOLLOWS: A.43: The Total Estimated Cost, inclusive of the $1,500,000 reserved for Grants Under Contracts (GUCs) is $10 million. Offerors must not exceed the $1,500,000 threshold for GUCs. Offerors may opt to use GUCs in their approach for any reasonable amount within that range ($1 to $1,500,000). The full Total Estimated Cost of $10 million is available to offerors if they opt not to use GUCs. The Total Estimated Cost of $10 million MINUS the GUC amount is what offerors have left for other aspects of their programming. The ceiling remains the same, with or without using the GUC mechanism.
