US Mission in the Caucuses, Georgia

US Agency for International Development Caucuses Georgia, a civilian sub-agency of USAID, administers development assistance, humanitarian programs, and capacity-building initiatives in the South Caucasus region, procuring both contracts for implementing partners and grants to multilateral and non-governmental organizations. The office operates from a regional base overseeing bilateral and regional development activities across Georgia and neighboring territories.

Over its portfolio history since 2007, the agency has awarded 247 federal contracts totaling $546.5 million in combined potential value, with $436.5 million obligated to date. Recent contract activity has declined: the office awarded 15 contracts in 2021, 20 in 2022, 23 in 2023, 12 in 2024, and 5 year-to-date in 2025, reflecting a shift in funding and program emphasis. Competitive concentration among prime contractors is fragmented: the top five by award count—TBC Insurance JSC (14 awards), Domestic Awardees Undisclosed (10 awards), and three smaller vendors—hold 54 percent of recent awards over the last five years. By potential value, the top five are concentrated on large development implementers: Cnfa leads with $52.7 million combined potential value across 2 awards; DAI Global LLC and Deloitte Consulting LLP follow at $46.8 million and $44.8 million respectively. These three firms and two others account for 34 percent of combined potential value in recent activity. Across the contractor base of 72 distinct primes, 99 percent of awards carry no set-aside designation; small-business set-asides account for 1 percent.

The agency has awarded 43 federal grants totaling $247.3 million in combined federal dollars obligated since 2006. Grant-making has slowed substantially: after 9 awards in 2019 and 5 in 2022, the office closed most recently in 2023 with 1 award. Among the 34 distinct recipients, competitive concentration is highly concentrated: the top five by award count—East-West Management Institute Inc. (2 awards, $63.6 million federal dollars), Foundation United Nations Association (1 award, $34.3 million), and three multilateral and research organizations—hold 86 percent of recent awards. By federal dollars, the same five recipients hold 48 percent of the combined obligated amount. Grant assistance is predominantly Cooperative Agreements (36 awards, 84 percent), with a smaller share of Project Grants (7 awards, 16 percent).

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