US Mission in Djibouti

The United States Agency for International Development Djibouti operates as the U.S. Mission in Djibouti, serving as the civilian agency responsible for administering American foreign assistance and development programs in the Republic of Djibouti. As part of the broader U.S. Agency for International Development, this mission supports U.S. foreign policy objectives through development assistance, humanitarian aid, and capacity building initiatives in the strategically important Horn of Africa region. The mission plays a critical role in advancing American diplomatic and development interests while addressing local development challenges and supporting regional stability.

Recent contract awards from the U.S. Mission in Djibouti demonstrate a focused approach to operational capacity building and mission support services. The awards span three primary categories: professional development training, personal services contracts for specialized advisory roles, and information technology equipment procurement. The largest award, valued at $290,085, established a two-year personal service contract for a General Development Advisor position, indicating the mission's commitment to maintaining specialized technical expertise for program implementation. Training services represented another significant investment, with a $40,696 contract for a seven-habits training program designed to enhance the professional capabilities of 13 Djibouti-based staff members.

The procurement patterns reflect a strategic approach to contractor selection, incorporating both large established firms and small businesses with specialized capabilities. Franklin Covey Government Services Division was selected for training services based on their extensive federal contracting experience across multiple agencies including the Department of Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense. Information technology procurement was awarded to Intellectechs Inc., a woman-owned small business holding multiple socioeconomic certifications, demonstrating the mission's commitment to small business utilization while meeting operational technology requirements. The $21,128 IT equipment purchase specifically supported mission operations with Apple mobile devices and related accessories, consistent with standardized technology deployments across U.S. Agency for International Development missions globally.
