Sustainable Urban Management II (SUM II)

SUM II is intended to further USAID's overall goals to address urbanization; management of local and regional growth; urban environmental and health concerns; disaster preparedness, response and mitigation; municipal and local governance; and urban poverty reduction.. ME&A and five other prime contractors received indefinite quantity contracts for this task order-based contracting mechanism with an aggregate ceiling of $300 million. The ME&A team includes Booz Allen Hamilton, Catholic Relief Services, Clark University, DevTech Systems, Ecology and Environment, International Management and Communications Corporation, Management Systems International, and Nathan Associates as subcontractors, and The Clark Group, Economic Competitiveness Group, Environmental Law Institute, International Economic Development Council, National Association of Housing Redevelopment Officers, and TransCentury Associates as resource groups.

The small business exception to FAR 16.505 allows USAID contracting officers to directly place SUM II task orders of any size with ME&A without competition.
