- Description
- USAID intends to issue, for full and open competition, a solicitation for a 5-year $15-20 million contract for the USAID Tajikistan Agribusiness Competitiveness Activity (TACA). The goal of TACA is sustainable economic growth through interventions aimed at improved competitiveness of Tajikistan's agribusiness enterprises, leading to increased economic development, employment, and livelihoods. Improving the economic viability of the agriculture sector will create both on and off-farm employment and encourage investment in supportive infrastructure and services in rural areas. This activity will have a particular focus on building agribusiness competitiveness within targeted value chains, especially in the Southern Khatlon region bordering Afghanistan, and improving product quality, services, and logistics to increase links to domestic, regional and international markets. TACA will build off investments USAID has made in increasing the quality and quantity of crop production within the horticulture and dairy value chains through the Feed the Future Initiative by supporting all/any actors along these agricultural value chains. The activity will provide targeted demand-driven assistance to agricultural associations, cooperatives, market integrators, and/or small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in targeted sub-sectors to take advantage of domestic, regional and international market opportunities. The contractor will have the flexibility to recommend to USAID for approval a set of demand-driven interventions aimed at generating rapid, broad based, and sustainable economic growth. The solicitation is anticipated to be released on/around December 15, 2017 and will be made available electronically upon its release to www.fbo.gov. This is not an Invitation for Bid (IFB) or a Request for Proposal (RFP) and in no way obligates the US Government to issue an RFP/IFB and/or award a contract.
