Financial Management, Contracts, and Agreements

The Department of Agriculture Foreign Agricultural Service Financial Management, Contracts, and Agreements is a civilian sub-agency that procures financial management, contracting, and administrative support services to sustain FAS operations. The office has awarded nine federal contracts totaling $571 thousand in combined potential value since 2014, with all work performed under the FAS administrative umbrella. Activity has declined sharply: three awards in 2015, two in 2016, and one award each in 2017, 2018, and 2019. The most recent award closed in August 2019. Of the nine total awards, eight carried no set-aside designation (89 percent), and one was awarded under the 8(a) sole-source program. The nine awards went to nine distinct prime contractors, indicating a highly fragmented competitive base with no repeat awardee across the portfolio. Combined dollars obligated reached $531 thousand, representing 93 percent of combined potential value. No recent contract awards are recorded since 2019. The current contract portfolio reflects minimal ongoing procurement activity and no open recent contract opportunities are present in the source data.
