Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a pre-solicitation request for feedback from USAID/Bosnia and Herzegovina on a draft Program Description for a planned "Reconciliation Activity in Bosnia and Herzegovina." The draft is being shared publicly so interested organizations and stakeholders can comment on whether the proposed activity is clear, realistic, and workable before USAID finalizes the design. The document makes clear that this is part of USAID's internal program design and consultation process, and that the content may still change as the Mission continues refining the approach and completing approvals.
The announcement is not a Request for Applications and does not invite proposals at this stage. It also states that anything submitted in response is not an offer that the U.S. Government can accept, and it does not create any legal obligation for USAID to issue a future solicitation, make an award, or reimburse anyone for the time and information provided. In addition, USAID indicates it will not answer questions submitted in response to this draft notice; questions are expected to be addressed only after a formal Request for Application is published.
Comments on the draft Program Description must be submitted in writing by close of business in Bosnia and Herzegovina local time on May 3, 2013. USAID requires that comments be emailed only to baaron@usaid.gov and vhollosy@usaid.gov, and warns that messages sent to other email addresses will not be considered. The subject line or reference in the transmitting email must read: "New Reconciliation Activity USAID/BiH - Comments on Draft PD." For access issues related to the full announcement, the point of contact listed is Viktoria Hollosy, Acquisition and Assistance Specialist, reachable by phone at 387 (0) 33 704 246.
From a funding-opportunity data standpoint, the posting is listed under Funding Opportunity Number 168-13-003 and is categorized under Democracy and Governance. The anticipated number of awards is one, with an award floor and ceiling both shown as $3,600,000, indicating a single award at that total level is expected if and when USAID proceeds. The CFDA number provided is 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas). No cost sharing or matching is required. Eligible applicants are described as U.S. and international Non-Governmental Organizations, U.S. and international Private Voluntary Organizations, and certain Public International Organizations (Category 1 and Category 2 PIOs). The opportunity was posted on April 19, 2013, with the comment deadline on May 3, 2013, and an archive date of June 2, 2013.
Overall, the practical takeaway is that USAID is signaling an upcoming reconciliation-focused activity in Bosnia and Herzegovina and is seeking targeted feedback on the draft design now, before moving to a formal competition. Organizations that may want to compete later are being given an early chance to influence the clarity and feasibility of the program description, but they are not being asked to submit applications or technical proposals yet.
