The U.S. Department of State, through the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv, Ukraine, intends to award a sole source contract for event management services aimed at supporting Ukrainian women entrepreneurs through virtual conferences. The primary objective is to engage stakeholders and promote gender equity in reconstruction contracting activities, particularly in the context of the ongoing war and its impact on women and refugees. This procurement is critical as it leverages the established relationships and expertise of The WMarketplace Inc., which has a proven track record in gender equity and economic development initiatives in Ukraine. The maximum award amount is $141,152.16, with a deadline for interested vendors to submit capability statements by September 27, 2024, at 12:00 local time in Kyiv. For inquiries, vendors may contact Patrick Murphy or Svitlana Podrubenko via the provided email addresses.
