US Mission in Central Asia, Kazakhstan

USAID Central Asia Kazakhstan, a sub-agency regional office within the U.S. Agency for International Development, administers foreign assistance funding and contracting for development and diplomatic objectives across the Kazakhstan region. The office manages both development grants and implementation contracts, primarily supporting governance, health, education, and civil-society initiatives in Central Asia.

The office has obligated $380.4 million across 221 federal contract awards since 2007, with combined award potential value of $424.5 million. Contract activity has declined in recent years: 9 awards in 2021, 5 in 2022, 12 in 2023, 10 in 2024, and 2 year-to-date in 2025. The most recent award was closed in July 2025. Seventy-five distinct prime contractors have been awarded. The portfolio is highly fragmented by award count over the last five years, with no single prime dominating; the top five awardees by count (Miscellaneous Foreign Awardees, Socha LLC, and Countertrade Products Inc. among them) collectively cover 76 percent of recent awards. By potential value, concentration is minimal: the top five by-value awardees hold only 6 percent of combined potential value over the last five years, with Chemonics International, Inc. leading a single $24 million award. The remainder of the portfolio is distributed across small awards and foreign entities. Ninety-eight percent of awards carry no set-aside designation; only one award was competitively awarded under the 8(a) program, and one under a small-business set-aside.

The office has obligated $382.7 million in federal dollars across 55 grant awards since 2004, most recently in October 2024.

Grant recipients are highly fragmented by award count; the top five recipients by count hold 42 percent of recent awards, with each recipient receiving one award. By federal dollars obligated, concentration is minimal: the top five recipients hold 10 percent of federal dollars. DAI Global LLC and Freedom House, Inc. are among the largest recent recipients ($11.4 million and $10.6 million federal dollars obligated, respectively).
