Step One:
A USAID mission or the Global Bureau prepares a scope of work (SOW) for a task order within the framework and scope of the RAISE Plus IQC.

Step Two:
The proposed SOW is submitted to the USAID/Washington Cognizant Technical Officer (CTO), who reviews the technical aspects of the work and confirms it fits the topics covered by RAISE Plus. After receiving concurrence from the USAID/W CTO, the appropriate Contracting Officer and the CTO in the requesting mission or bureau determine the criteria for selecting a contractor for the proposed task order.

Step Three:
Task orders under $2 million can be awarded on the basis of the past performance and experience of the RAISE Plus Teams. Selection criteria can also include, at the discretion of the Contracting Officer, personnel, cost, and
technical approach. For all task orders over $2 million, or where technical approach and cost will be evaluated, a proposal from each contractor will be requested. USAID Contracting Officers should refer to Contract No. EDH-I-00-05-00004-00 when submitting a request for RAISE Plus IQC services.
