US Mission in Benin

The US Agency for International Development Benin is a civilian sub-agency of USAID that procures and funds development assistance programs across Benin's health, education, economic growth, and governance sectors through both federal contracts and grants.

The agency has issued 80 federal contract awards since 2009, totaling $66.5 million in combined potential value with $38.8 million obligated. Recent contract activity shows 6 awards in 2020, 5 in 2021, 2 in 2022, 6 in 2023, and 8 in 2024, with the most recent award closed in October 2024. The contract portfolio is moderately concentrated by potential value: Dexis Interactive LLC holds $38.2 million (58% of recent potential value) from a single award, while Domestic Awardees (Undisclosed) and Stephen M Haykin account for smaller contracts. Countertrade Products, Inc. leads by award count with 5 recent awards, and Intellectechs Inc. follows with 4, though their combined potential values are modest at $102 thousand and $68 thousand respectively. The agency has worked with 27 distinct prime contractors across the portfolio history. Contract set-asides are minimal: 89 percent of awards carry no set-aside designation, with 6 percent awarded as 8(a) sole source, 3 percent designated total small business, 1 percent as competitive 8(a), and 1 percent as woman-owned small business.

The agency has also issued 21 federal grant awards since February 2014, obligating $128.3 million in federal dollars and $133.9 million in combined federal and non-federal share. Grant activity shows 2 awards in 2020, 2 in 2021, 1 in 2022, 1 in 2023, and 3 in 2024, with the most recent award issued in April 2024. Grant recipient concentration is highly fragmented: the top four recipients by award count (Population Services International, Programme D'insertion DES Enfants Desherites, Organisation NON Gouvernement Ale Pour LE Developpement Dura, and Management Sciences For Health, Inc.) account for 100 percent of recent award count but only 37 percent of recent federal dollars, reflecting the presence of additional smaller recipients across the 13 distinct grantees. Cooperative Agreements dominate the assistance-type mix at 76 percent of awards, with Project Grants comprising 24 percent.

No recent contract opportunities or grant opportunities are recorded against the agency.
