USAID/Vietnam anticipates an award of a Cost-Plus-Fixed Fee Term Type contract with a period of performance consisting of three (3) base years and two (2) one-year option periods, totaling five (5) years, subject to availability of funds. In order to understand the magnitude of USAID’s requirement, the Government estimates 25,520 of professional/technical staff person days level of effort.
