The USAID Contracting Officer will select the successful contractor using a Best Value
approach, considering price factors and past performance. The Contracting Officer, at the
Government’s discretion, may enter into negotiations with one or more offeror to discuss
improvements in the proposal and cost deduction. Upon successful negotiation with the vendor, a purchase order will be issued, and a lump sum payment made upon acceptance of all deliverables and within 30 days of receipt of invoice.
