US Mission in Azerbaijan

US Agency for International Development Azerbaijan, a sub-agency of USAID, administers development assistance and humanitarian programs in Azerbaijan through bilateral contracts and cooperative agreements with implementing partners. The agency has awarded 49 federal contracts totaling $60.3 million in combined potential value and 21 federal grants totaling $87.9 million in combined federal dollars obligated since its inception.

Contract activity has been sparse and sporadic. The agency issued 6 awards in 2018, 10 in 2019, 1 in 2020, 5 in 2021, and 4 in 2022, with the most recent award closed on 22 September 2022. Across 16 distinct prime contractors over the portfolio history, no single vendor has emerged as a dominant player—the top two by recent award count, Miscellaneous Foreign Awardees and Intellectechs Inc., collectively account for 4 awards representing only $94 thousand in combined potential value. The portfolio is highly fragmented by both count and value, reflecting the agency's reliance on foreign and small specialized firms. Nearly all awards (48 of 49, or 98 percent) carry no set-aside designation; one small-business set-aside appears in the mix. Obligated dollars stand at $56.7 million, representing 94 percent of combined potential value, indicating most awards have moved to execution.

Grant activity is modest and recent. The agency has funded 21 awards across 15 distinct recipients since 2008, with the most recent grant awarded on 2 October 2023. Award cadence over the last five years shows 2 awards in 2018, 1 in 2020, 3 in 2021, 1 in 2022, and 1 in 2023. World Health Organization and UNICEF together account for 2 awards representing $18.5 million in federal dollars—roughly 21 percent of the five-year grant portfolio by value—leaving the remaining 19 awards distributed across 13 other recipients. The grant recipient base is highly fragmented. Cooperative Agreements dominate the assistance-type mix at 71 percent of awards (15), with Project Grants accounting for 29 percent (6). Combined federal and non-federal obligation reaches $92.9 million against the federal share of $87.9 million.

No recent contract opportunities are recorded. No recent grant opportunities are recorded. The absence of active solicitations and the time elapsed since the last contract award (four years) and grant award (three years) suggest minimal near-term procurement or funding activity.
