Bureau for Foreign Assistance

The US Agency for International Development Bureau for Foreign Assistance, a sub-agency of the civilian aid apparatus, procures foreign assistance implementation services and related support for development programs overseas. The Bureau awards contracts and cooperative agreements to execute USAID's mission of advancing development and humanitarian objectives in partner countries.

Contract activity at the Bureau is sporadic and minimal. The agency has made 11 federal contract awards since 2012 with a combined potential value of $5.2 million. Award frequency has been uneven: 2 awards in 2015, 5 in 2016, 1 in 2017, 1 in 2018, and most recently 1 in 2022. The most recent recorded award date is August 2022. Combined dollars obligated total $5 million, representing 95 percent of combined potential value. The competitive base is highly fragmented: 10 distinct prime contractors have been awarded across the portfolio lifetime, with New TECH Solutions, Inc. the only contractor appearing in recent activity (1 award, $9 thousand potential value as of the most recent window). All 11 awards are unrestricted — no set-aside designations are present in the portfolio.

The small contract footprint and four-year lag since the last recorded award suggest the Bureau is not currently an active contracting customer. The dollar volumes and award counts are consistent with administrative or supplemental procurement rather than core service delivery. No recent contract opportunities are recorded for the Bureau or its descendant offices.
