Dear Prospective Offerors:
The United States Government, represented by the U.S Agency for International Development (USAID) to Nepal, intends to release a solicitation for Feed the Future Nepal USAID Agricultural Transformation, as further detailed below. The purpose of this pre-solicitation notice is to provide information regarding the anticipated Feed the Future Nepal USAID Agricultural Transformation through a synopsis per FAR 5.2.
The purpose of Feed the Future Nepal USAID Agricultural Transformation is to catalyze the transformation of Nepal’s agricultural sector required for inclusive economic growth. The widely-recognized process of agricultural transformation is characterized by the transition from subsistence farming to diversified, commercial farming and to increased off-farm employment and income generation driven by agricultural growth. It is brought about through targeted efforts to rapidly enhance farm productivity, add value, and increase market competitiveness, harnessing agriculture as an engine of growth for the broader economy. The Activity builds on the past success of USAID Nepal’s Feed the Future (FTF) program by strengthening the market systems of strategic value chains, and by aligning agricultural development with efforts to promote food security, improve nutrition, and build the resilience of rural farming communities, especially to risks posed by climate change.
The applicable NAICS Code is: 541690, Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services
The solicitation is anticipated to be released on/about October 23, 2023 and will be made available electronically on www.sam.gov. All responsible offerors will be invited to submit a proposal. Offerors are encouraged to check https://www.sam.gov regularly to obtain additional information on this requirement.
Except for the information provided herein, no additional information regarding this planned RFP is available at this time. This notice does not obligate USAID to release a solicitation or award a contract nor does it commit the Government to pay for costs incurred in the preparation and submission of a proposal. In addition, final award(s) cannot be made until funds have been fully appropriated, allocated, and committed and internal USAID procedures have been completed. This notice satisfies the synopsis requirement in FAR 5.2 and is NOT an Invitation for Bid (IFB) or a Request for Proposals (RFP).

tender Background
About the Funding Agency
The United States Agency for International Development ( USAID) is the federal government agency that leads worldwide development and humanitarian efforts to save lives, lessen poverty, enhance democratic government, and support people to move beyond reliance on aid. The mission is to promote and demonstrate democratic values abroad and advance a free, peaceful, and prosperous world.
USAID has offices around the world, in all the countries where it leads projects and helps the vulnerable population in countries such as Namibia, Laos, Libya, Barbados, Maldives, Palestine/West Bank & Gaza, Germany, Cote d'Ivoire, USA, Paraguay, Ecuador, Nicaragua, USA, Panama, Guinea, Angola, Sierra Leone, Mongolia, USA, Madagascar, Morocco, Kazakhstan, Lebanon, Myanmar, Jamaica, Bolivia, Peru, Zimbabwe, Nepal, and the Philippines.
USAID has hundreds of ongoing projects and funds in the world, the main responsibilities being to promote global health, support global stability, provide humanitarian assistance, catalyze innovation and partnership and empower women and girls. USAID engaged with African nations at an early stage and has since acted in partnership to achieve common interests and ideals from security to global health to climate change to freedom and democracy to shared wealth.
USAID also plays a crucial role in collaborating with Asian nations to ensure that the development decisions they make today help them to achieve long-term success by advancing countries on their paths to consciousness. In Europe and Eurasia, USAID continues to confront massive corruption, political stagnation, severe poverty, and underdeveloped policy and regulatory systems.
