Crop Condition Assessment Division

The Department of Agriculture Foreign Agricultural Service Crop Condition Assessment Division is a civilian sub-agency that procures contract services and analytical support for agricultural crop condition monitoring and reporting.

The Division has awarded 35 federal contracts totaling $2.6 million since 2016, with activity concentrated in 2019 when 30 of 35 awards closed. The most recent award closed on September 30, 2019. Awards per year tracked at 3 in 2016, 1 in 2017, 1 in 2018, and 30 in 2019. Combined dollars obligated equal the full potential value at $2.6 million. The Division engages 26 distinct prime contractors across its portfolio, indicating a fragmented competitive landscape with no dominant incumbent. The contract awards are highly fragmented, with no single contractor concentrating significant volume.

The set-aside mix reflects predominantly unrestricted competition: 27 awards (77%) carry no set-aside designation. Woman-Owned Small Business set-asides account for 4 awards (11%), Total Small Business for 3 awards (9%), and Competitive 8(a) for 1 award (3%). The portfolio skews toward open market awards.

No recent contract opportunities are recorded against the Division. The most recent procurement activity closed in September 2019, and no open solicitations are visible in the current pipeline. Any business development targeting this Division should verify current contracting authority and active project requirements directly with the office, as the Division's recent contracting posture does not support active pursuit without confirmation of renewed procurement demand.
