The U.S. Department of State is planning to release a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the Global Advisory Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, aimed at procuring professional services to support regional and international organizations outside the continental United States (OCONUS). The primary objective of this procurement is to enhance the capacity of partner nations, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, to manage and resolve conflicts independently while promoting peace, security, and regional stability. The IDIQ will involve providing qualified Subject-Matter Experts (SMEs) across various core areas, including border management, counterterrorism, and humanitarian assistance, with a total estimated lifecycle cost of $250 million over a five-year period. Interested vendors should monitor SAM.gov for the RFP release and further updates, with the primary contact being Taynelle McCloud at mccloudtl@state.gov.
