Overview

This tool was developed with considerable input from the field as well as USAID’s headquarters staff.1 The 29 evaluative elements represent those items most critical in the formulation of a responsibility determination before a grant is awarded to a non-U.S. organization. Agreement Officers (AOs) may select areas for review that are critical in making a determination for a particular award. (For instance, if there will be no procurement associated with the award, there is no need to do an extensive procurement policies and systems check.) Missions are encouraged to make changes to the NUPAS to more closely align to their particular needs.
