US Mission in Botswana

US Agency for International Development Botswana, a sub-agency of the civilian development agency, administers foreign-aid programming and contracting operations in Botswana. The office manages both procurement for in-country development activities and grant-making on behalf of USAID's broader development mission.

Contract activity at USAID Botswana is modest and episodic. The office has issued 31 total contract awards since 2011, with combined potential value of $5.8 million and $5.4 million obligated. Award cadence over the last five years shows 1 award in 2019, 2 in 2020, 2 in 2022, 4 in 2023, and 6 in 2024, reflecting a gradual uptick in procurement volume. The most recent award closed on December 28, 2024. The competitive landscape is highly fragmented: the top five primes by award count hold 75% of recent awards, but those entries consist largely of foreign awardees with undisclosed identities (3 awards for $741 thousand combined), alongside Countertrade Products, Inc. (2 awards, $24 thousand), Domestic Awardees (Undisclosed) (2 awards, $198 thousand), Paratus Telecommunications Proprietary LIMITED (1 award, $53 thousand), and miscellaneous foreign awardees (1 award, $10 thousand). By potential value across the recent window, coverage fragments further to 26%, reflecting the small-dollar nature of most awards and the opacity of foreign vendor data. Across the portfolio lifetime, 10 distinct prime contractors have been awarded. Nearly all awards (97%) carry no set-aside designation; the remaining 3% show specialized set-asides.

Grant activity is minimal and historical. USAID Botswana issued one Cooperative Agreement award on August 31, 2016, obligating $37.7 million in federal dollars. No grant awards have been recorded since that date.
