About EPIQ II

Contract Ceiling: $250 million
Contract Effective: October 1, 2003
through September 30, 2009

EPIQ II enables USAID missions, bureaus, and the Department of State to rapidly access top-notch technical expertise in three outstanding consortia that support international environmental policy, policy reform and institutional governance, improvements in environmental quality, and sustainable natural resource use. Prime contractors of the three EPIQ consortia are Chemonics International Inc., International Resources Group, and PA Government Services Inc. Projects funded through EPIQ II can deal with a wide variety of environmental and natural resource related policy formation and institutional governance activities at the national and local level–and with any related technical assistance, training, research, or other initiative that improves a host country's ability to support economic growth, participate in international agreements, and strengthen public-private sector partnerships. Each firm is able to compete on every task order for the duration of EPIQ II. Task orders are either Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee or Firm-Fixed-Price – explicitly designed to minimize operational costs and increase performance standards.
