Armenia Resilience Activity

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Armenia has issued solicitation 72011124R00005 for the Armenia Resilience Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. This initiative employs a systems approach to strengthen the country's resilience against manmade and natural risks by focusing on interconnected sectors, including natural resource management, disaster risk management, agriculture, food security, water resource management, energy systems, and climate-resilient infrastructure. The IDIQ serves as a mechanism for USAID/Armenia to procure technical assistance on an on-demand basis to address the needs of these key systems through an integrated approach.

The activity is structured around three mutually reinforcing objectives: reducing the impact of disasters through mitigation and preparedness, strengthening the response capabilities of Armenian institutions, and building overall capacity to manage shocks and stresses. Performance involves partnering with various Armenian entities, such as government bodies, civil society, and the private sector, to implement interventions. While the IDIQ establishes the broad framework, individual task orders will define specific requirements for interventions intended to leverage the interconnected nature of the target systems.

This procurement is classified under NAICS 541611 for Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services and PSC R499 for Support- Professional: Other. The primary place of performance is Yerevan, Armenia, with a response deadline of October 7, 2024. The solicitation includes seven attachments, featuring amendments to the primary notice, unburdened ceiling daily rate tables, and ROPE worksheets. Armen E. Yeghiazarian serves as the point of contact for this requirement.
