US Mission in Guatemala

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Guatemala office is the civilian agency component responsible for administering U.S. international development assistance, emergency relief, and capacity-building activities in Guatemala through both contracts and grants.

USAID Guatemala has awarded 215 federal contracts totaling $520 million in combined potential value, with $404.5 million obligated as of the most recent data. Contract activity over the last five years shows 8 awards in 2021, 20 in 2022, 12 in 2023, 16 in 2024, and 2 year-to-date in 2025. The competitive landscape is highly fragmented—the top five primes by award count account for 44 percent of recent awards, dominated by miscellaneous foreign awardees (19 awards combined across multiple entries) and Intellectechs Inc. with 3 awards. By potential value, concentration is also highly fragmented at 16 percent coverage, with University Research Co., LLC leading at $47.4 million (one award), followed by Olgoonik Worldwide Services LLC at $18.1 million and DAI Global LLC at $16.6 million. The remaining 68 distinct primes share the remainder. Ninety-eight percent of awards carry no set-aside designation; 1 percent are small-business set-asides and less than 1 percent are 8(a) sole-source awards. The preponderance of foreign awardees and NGOs reflects USAID's country-presence and capacity-building model.

Grant activity over the last five years shows 4 awards in 2020, 5 in 2021, 4 in 2022, 8 in 2023, and 8 in 2024.
