 Request for Quotations (RFQ) – Server and Data Storage

RFQ#: CNFA-AGP-LMD-01-03

AGP-LMD Project: USAID-Ethiopia’s Agricultural Growth Program-Livestock Market Development (AGP-LMD) Project is a five-year project implemented as part of the U.S. Government’s Feed the Future (FTF) Initiative.  The Project aims to foster growth and reduce poverty through improving the productivity and competitiveness of selected livestock value chains: meat/live animals and dairy.  The AGP-LMD project addresses USAID's Strategic Objective of improving smallholder incomes and nutritional status through a holistic value chain development approach to ensure that the program transforms the targeted value chains from infancy to maturity. This self-propels value chains, capable of taking ownership of their own future development, by addressing systemic bottlenecks and facilitating value chain participants' own engagement and investment.

The Project seeks to procure Server and Data Storage as per the following specifications:
