USAID/Vietnam Evaluation and Survey Services

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Mission to Vietnam plans to issue a solicitation for a three-year cost reimbursement contract with a fixed fee, with an option to extend for an additional two years. The contract, titled USAID/Vietnam Evaluation and Survey Services, aims to engage qualified organizations to conduct evaluations, monitoring surveys, performance management studies, and provide targeted monitoring and evaluation training to support USAID/Vietnam programs. The solicitation is expected to be released around mid-October 2013 and will welcome proposals from both U.S.-based and local Vietnamese organizations that have their principal place of business in Vietnam and are not controlled by foreign entities. This contract is structured as a Cost plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) completion type, emphasizing thorough cost reimbursement with a predetermined fee, reflecting the diverse nature of evaluation and survey tasks anticipated. The solicitation seeks to establish a partnership that enhances program quality and accountability through rigorous monitoring and training support over the contract period. Questions regarding this announcement will not be addressed until after the solicitation is released. Communications related to the contract can be directed to designated USAID officers located in Thailand, including the primary and secondary points of contact.
