- Description
- The United States Department of Justice (DOJ) intends to issue a Request for Proposals for a worldwide support services contract to support the Criminal Division's Office of Overseas Prosecutorial Development, Assistance and Training (OPDAT). Contractor personnel will furnish administrative, logistical, professional, and technical labor, supplies, equipment, facilities, and materials necessary to perform the required functions consistent with applicable policies, regulations, procedures, business practices, and protocols that define the OPDAT operational environment. OPDAT works closely with other agencies of the United States Government including the National Security Council (NSC), the U.S. State Department (State) and U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) to transform and develop foreign criminal justice systems in a variety of environments including those commonly described as: (1) Post conflict, such as was/is the case in El Salvador, Bosnia, Croatia, Kosovo, Afghanistan and Iraq; (2) Emerging democracies, such as Indonesia, Philippines, Pakistan and South Africa; (3) Failed states, such as Liberia and Haiti; and (4) States in transition, such as Mexico, Nicaragua and Argentina. Ongoing OPDAT projects in 84 countries directly support the following Department and Administration law enforcement priorities: (1) Develop the capacity of partner nations to combat terrorism and terrorist financing; (2) Assist partner countries to control their domestic violent crime problems, including organized crime, before they are exported to the United States; (3) Assist countries with inadequate laws to address international trafficking in humans; and (4) Provide development assistance to countries seeking to improve the effectiveness of their justice sector so they can cooperate more fully with the Department=s law enforcement components. Some of the countries in which supplies and services are needed operate in a cash-only economy; thus, the Contractor may be required to provide large sum cash advances to persons employed or subcontracted under this contract to pay travel and subsistence costs. The bulk of the development/reform work performed by OPDAT can be separated into five broad categories: (1) Skills Development; (2) Technical Assistance; (3) Training; (4) Equipment Donation; and (5) Construction. The Government anticipates a base period of twelve months for the resultant contract with five additional option periods of one year each for a total period of performance of seventy-two (72) months. An indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract is anticipated. The solicitation will be available on or about October 13, 2004. A pre-proposal conference will be held approximately one week after release of the solicitation with a due date for receipt of proposals approximately thirty-five (35) days after issuance of the solicitation. All information regarding this procurement, including the solicitation document and amendments, will only be made available electronically on the General Service Administration's "Federal Business Opportunities" web site, http://www.fedbizopps.gov. Hard copies of the solicitation itself will not be available. Interested parties should periodically check this Internet site for information regarding the schedule and this acquisition.
