| Description:: | The U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) welcomes the submission of proposals for the Resettlement Support Center (RSC) for Africa for FY 2014. The deadline for submission of proposals is Monday, May 13, 2013 at 12:00 p.m. noon (EDT). The purpose of the RSC is to assist the Bureau in preparing the necessary casework for persons eligible for interview by United States Citizenship and Immigration Services of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) under the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program and, for those approved, to provide assistance in completing the additional requirements for refugee admission under Section 207 of the Immigration and Nationality Act. In addition, the RSC forwards the necessary data on all DHS-approved cases to the Refugee Processing Center (RPC) for distribution to Reception and Placement agencies according to procedures established by the Bureau. The Bureau will enter into one award for an RSC for Africa for an initial period beginning October 1, 2013 through September 30, 2014 subject to the availability of funds. Through the award, the Bureau will provide full financial support to the selected organization, based on the proposal submitted in response to this request.

At the end of three years, if the need to operate the RSC continues, the Bureau will re-compete the project, and the recipient of this award may participate in that process.The organization selected to operate the RSC is expected to provide refugee processing services for all U.S. Refugee Admissions Program applicants in the designated locations, regardless of nationality or ethnicity, beginning on October 1, 2013. |
