State Department tries - again - to create Arab Spring support fund
2013-04-12
Synopsis: State is once more asking Congress for money for a "Middle East and North Africa Fund [which] will capitalize on the opportunities presented by the Arab Spring, supporting those countries that are moving to undertake the democratic and economic reforms necessary to address citizens' demand and provide lasting stability in the region."

State is only asking for $580 million. The Senate approved a billion dollars the last time, but Congress said "no" the last time, due to budget disputes and the continuing resolutions.

#1  Sorry, your request for funding has been denied due to unacceptable Past Performance.

Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR).
Collection of Past Performance Information

Under the FAR, agencies prepare evaluations of contractor performance for each contract in excess of $100,000 from the time the work under the contract is completed. Agency evaluations of contractor performance are supposed to be provided to the contractor "as soon as practicable" after completion of the evaluation. Contractors have a minimum of 30 days to submit comments, rebutting statements, or additional information. Procedures allow input from the technical office, contracting office and, where appropriate, end-users of the product or service.
