About this agency
The Department of Agriculture Foreign Agricultural Service Administrator is a civilian sub-agency within USDA that procures contracts supporting agricultural trade promotion, market development, and international food-security initiatives. The FAS awards contracts to support export marketing, technical assistance, commodity programs, and overseas agricultural operations across a global footprint.
FAS has awarded 179 federal contracts totaling $76.2 million in combined potential value since 2014, with $64.5 million obligated to date. Award volume has declined sharply in recent years: 16 awards in 2022, 21 in 2023, 8 in 2024, 4 in 2025, and 2 year-to-date in 2026. The most recent award closed on September 30, 2026. Across the portfolio history, FAS has worked with 125 distinct prime contractors, indicating a highly fragmented competitive base. Over the last five years, the top five primes by award count hold 31 percent of recent awards, while the top five by potential value hold only 6 percent of combined potential value — a signal that FAS transacts through many small-dollar awards distributed across a wide vendor pool.
Carahsoft Technology Corp leads by recent award count with 4 awards valued at $1.4 million combined potential, and also ranks first by recent potential value. Global Charter Services Inc., Wyhar LLC, and Adventures By Dawn LLC each hold 3 to 4 awards in the 5-year window, though with limited reported dollar values; Busy Minds LLC holds 2 awards and $650 thousand combined potential value. Bryant Christie Inc. ranks second by potential value with a single $1.2 million award. The long tail of smaller vendors accounts for the majority of FAS contract activity.
Set-asides are minimal: 86 percent of awards carry no set-aside designation. Small-business set-asides account for 9 percent of awards (16 total); 8(a) Sole Source awards comprise 3 percent (6 awards); and Woman-Owned Small Business designations (Sole Source and non-Sole Source combined) account for 2 percent (3 awards). FAS contracting is predominantly open to all responsible sources.
No recent contract opportunities are recorded against FAS in the source data. No grant-making activity is reported.
