Rule
of Law - Indefinite Quantity Contract
In
July 2004, MSD was awarded the small-business set-aside
contract, completing the group of five IQC holders.
This vehicle was developed to support the transition
to and consolidation of the rule of law, andthe
promotion and protection of human rights throughout
the world. It expires in 2009.
MSD
to date has won six Task Orders under the ROL IQC .
Our performance under the IQC reveals continued
strong capacity in our core areas of criminal code reform
and access to justice, as well as our growth in the
areas of security sector reform, and anti-corruption.
Our labor law and family law projects are a natural
outgrowth of our long-standing human rights program
in Colombia, and highlight our commitment to protecting
and strengthening the rights of workers and families.
