US Mission in Burma

The US Agency for International Development Burma is a civilian sub-agency within USAID that manages development assistance programming and procurement for Burma operations. USAID/Burma awards both contracts and grants to implement humanitarian, governance, and economic-development initiatives in Burma and related regional activities.

USAID/Burma has issued 91 federal contract awards totaling $303.4 million in combined potential value since 2009, with $235.6 million obligated to date. Recent contract activity is sparse: 4 awards in 2021, 2 in 2022, 4 in 2023, 1 in 2024, and 1 in 2025. The agency works with 25 distinct prime contractors across the portfolio. Over the last five years, competitive concentration is highly fragmented by award count (top five cover 75 percent of recent awards) but fragmented by potential value (top five cover 29 percent of combined value). Domestic Awardees (Undisclosed) lead by count with 2 awards worth $45.8 million; Crown Agents USA Inc. ranks second by value at $30.3 million for 1 award; Socha, LLC holds $12.5 million; the remainder are scattered among smaller awards. Ninety-nine percent of awards carry no set-aside designation; one small-business set-aside award is on record. The agency transacts almost entirely through open competition rather than reserved procurement vehicles.

USAID/Burma has awarded 27 federal grants totaling $499.7 million in federal dollars obligated (combined federal and non-federal share of $569.7 million) since 2012. Grant activity peaked in 2021 with 7 awards, declined to 4 in both 2022 and 2023, and dropped to 1 in 2024; no grant awards are recorded for 2025 or 2026. The agency funds 8 distinct recipients over the portfolio, nearly all foreign entities. Recipient concentration is highly fragmented by award count and by federal dollars (top five cover 100 percent of count and 19 percent of federal dollars respectively), reflecting a dispersed recipient base where the top-ranked recipients are aggregated as Miscellaneous Foreign Awardees. The Consortium For Elections & Political Process Strengthening is the only named domestic recipient, holding 1 award worth $17.8 million. Grants split evenly between Cooperative Agreements (14 awards, 52 percent) and Project Grants (13 awards, 48 percent). No contract opportunities or grant opportunities are recorded as open against the agency in recent data. The most recent grant award closed in August 2024 and the most recent contract award in April 2025, indicating that activity is present but infrequent and recent solicitation reopenings are not yet reflected in current opportunity feeds.
