Office of the Chief Financial Officer

The US Agency for International Development Bureau for Management Office of the Chief Financial Officer, a sub-agency of USAID, administers financial management operations and infrastructure funding for the agency's overseas missions and domestic headquarters. The office transacts in both contracts for facility and financial systems work and grants to international development organizations.

On the contract side, the office has awarded 93 contracts totaling $135.7 million in combined potential value since 2007, with $127.2 million obligated. Recent activity has declined: 8 awards in 2020, 6 in 2021, 5 in 2022, 5 in 2023, and 4 in 2024. The most recent contract award closed on 2024-09-13. Among 69 distinct prime contractors in the portfolio, recent competitive concentration is highly fragmented. Over the last five years, the top five primes by award count account for 50% of recent awards but are dominated by undisclosed domestic awardees (3 awards, $2.4 million) and one-off awards to small vendors; by potential value, The Whiting-Turner Contracting Company leads with a single $19.9 million award, followed by the undisclosed domestic tier and smaller contractors. The contracting mix is overwhelmingly open competition: 91% of awards carry no set-aside designation, with 5% falling under Total Small Business categories and 3% under 8(a) tracks.

On the grant side, the office has distributed 120 grants totaling $1.03 billion in federal dollars obligated since 2003, with $42 awards in 2023 representing the highest recent year. The most recent grant award closed on 2023-10-01. Among 76 distinct recipients, Catholic Relief Services – United States Conference of Catholic Bishops dominates, holding $313.1 million across 2 awards—31% of the five-year federal-dollar total. The five-year recipient concentration by count is highly fragmented (13% coverage), but by federal dollars moderately concentrated (31% coverage) due to the single large Catholic Relief Services grant. Remaining top recipients include Save the Children Federation ($1.6 million), Mennonite Central Committee ($220 thousand), and smaller international development and humanitarian organizations. The grant portfolio is predominantly Project Grants (84%) with a smaller Cooperative Agreement tier (16%).
