Trade and Regulatory Capacity Building

The Department of Agriculture Foreign Agricultural Service Trade and Regulatory Capacity Building is a civilian sub-agency within USDA that procures technical assistance and capacity-building services to support international agricultural trade and regulatory alignment. The office has awarded seven federal contracts totaling $987 thousand since 2017, with the most recent award closing in August 2022.

Contract activity has been sparse and episodic. The agency recorded one award in 2017, one in 2018, two in 2020, two in 2021, and one in 2022; no awards are recorded from 2023 onward. All seven awards have been awarded to five distinct prime contractors, with no set-aside designations applied — every contract used unrestricted open competition. Bryant Christie Inc. is the only named contractor with a recorded award over the last five years, capturing one contract valued at $250 thousand, representing one-quarter of the combined potential value across the portfolio. The remaining four contractors hold the other three-quarters of the portfolio spread across their individual awards. Combined dollars obligated equal the full combined potential value of $987 thousand, indicating all awards have been fully funded.
