USAID/DRG USPSC Senior Governance Advisor

USAID intends to issue a solicitation for a U.S. Personal Services Contract (USPSC) for one (1) Senior Governance Advisor, one position at the GS-14 equivalent level for USAID’s Bureau for Democracy, Human Rights, and Governance (DRG)/Office of Governance (GOV). Working as part of GOV, the Senior Governance Advisor will help the DRG Bureau meet high demand for technical assistance by providing support – both on TDY and in Washington D.C. – to Missions, Embassies, and other USAID operating units.

The Senior Governance Advisor will support the development of strategy and country-level plans, the design and evaluation of programs, development of performance indicators, the conduct of DRG and other assessments, and the integration of evidence-based, best-fit good governance approaches into cross-sectoral programming. The Senior Governance Advisor may also serve as a COR/AOR for at least one of GOV's implementing mechanisms, and/or alternate COR/AOR or activity manager of other GOV-managed activities. On TDY and in Washington, the successful offeror will work closely with USAID and Department of State colleagues to:

identify opportunities for USAID to support governance priorities; design activities responding to those opportunities; work with partners to effectively implement those activities; monitor the impact of those activities; and other associated technical and managerial assistance. The successful offeror will develop performance indicators, assessments, design and evaluate programs, and provide other Mission technical support.

The successful offeror will coordinate with intra- and interagency colleagues on strategy, policy, and resource allocation issues. The duration of the contract period is anticipated to include a two (2) year base period with three (3) one-year option periods for a total maximum possible period of performance of five (5) years. The solicitation will be published on System for Award Management (SAM). Interested parties are advised to periodically monitor this website for updates on this potential opportunity.

Except for the above information, no additional information regarding this planned solicitation is available at this time. All necessary information will be supplied at the time the solicitation is issued. USAID will not respond to any questions or requests for information until the solicitation is issued. USAID will not accept applications prior to issuance of the solicitation.

Issuance of the pre-solicitation notice and any subsequent RFP does not constitute an award commitment on the part of USAID, nor does it commit USAID to pay for any costs incurred in the preparation and submission of any application.
