In addition, final award(s) cannot be made until funds have been fully appropriated, allocated, and committed and internal USAID procedures have been completed.

The Government intends to conduct the evaluation in two phases, as described in the extracts from the attached draft extracts from Sections L and M (attached). Participation in Phase One will be a mandatory part of this acquisition.
