US Mission in Macedonia

US Agency for International Development Macedonia, a civilian sub-agency of USAID, administers bilateral development assistance, technical support, and capacity-building programs in the Republic of North Macedonia, funding both procured services and grants to support economic development, democratic governance, and institutional strengthening in the country.

The agency has awarded 131 federal contracts totaling $481.2 million in combined potential value since 2006, with $388.2 million obligated. Contract activity averaged 8.4 awards per year over the last five years—9 awards in 2020, 9 in 2021, 8 in 2022, 10 in 2023, and 6 in 2024—reflecting modest but consistent procurement volume. The most recent contract award closed on October 28, 2024. Among 56 distinct prime contractors, competitive concentration is highly fragmented; the top five primes by award count account for 54 percent of recent awards but represent only $18.7 million in combined potential value, with New TECH Solutions, Inc. (5 awards), Government Acquisitions LLC (4 awards), and Management Systems International, Inc. (2 awards, $11.7 million potential) leading by frequency. By potential value over the last five years, the top five primes account for only 4 percent of combined potential value, indicating that awards are distributed across a wide base of smaller contractors. Ninety-eight percent of awards carry no set-aside designation; one small-business set-aside award accounts for the remainder.

USAID Macedonia has awarded 38 federal grants totaling $89.9 million in combined federal dollars obligated since 2010, with $101.6 million in total obligated value when non-federal matching shares are included. Grant activity is uneven—1 award in 2018, 7 in 2021, 5 in 2022, 4 in 2023, and 1 in 2024—with the most recent grant closing on January 2, 2024. Among 34 distinct recipients, concentration is fragmented; the top five recipients by award count hold 55 percent of recent awards but Konekt Skopje leads with only 2 awards ($2.5 million federal dollars). By federal dollars obligated, the top five recipients account for 34 percent of funding, with Improving Economies For Stronger Communities (1 award, $13.9 million federal) and Palladium International LLC (1 award, $6.5 million federal) as the largest recipients. Cooperative Agreements comprise 89 percent of grants; Project Grants account for 11 percent. No recent contract or grant opportunities are recorded against the agency.
