R -- Natural Resources Management

USAID/Honduras plans to enhance biodiversity protection through improved watershed management and disaster preparedness by modifying its existing contract with International Resources Group (IRG). The contract, originally awarded on September 24, 2004, will be extended with an additional estimated cost of approximately $2.8 million, bringing the total estimated contract value to about $18.16 million. The period of performance will be extended from December 31, 2008, to September 30, 2009. This adjustment aims to build on ongoing efforts under contract number 522-C-00-00-00468-00 without issuing a new solicitation or requiring proposals, as this modification falls under the existing contractual framework. The work will be managed by USAID/Honduras and supports natural resources management initiatives in the region, with coordination led by Contract Specialist Karla P. Oviedo. The contract is classified under NAICS code 541620 and is posted in compliance with federal acquisition regulations.
