US Mission in Mali

USAID Mali, a sub-office of the U.S. Agency for International Development, administers contracts and grants supporting humanitarian, development, and stabilization programming in Mali. The office operates under USAID's civilian foreign-assistance mandate and transacts through both commercial contracts with development consulting firms and cooperative agreements with international organizations and NGOs.

Contract activity at USAID Mali totals 178 awards worth $280.2 million in combined potential value since 2009, with $230.9 million obligated. Recent contract volume has been modest: 15 awards in 2021, 10 in 2022, 11 in 2023, 13 in 2024, and 2 year-to-date in 2025. The most recent award was recorded on 2025-06-23. Nearly all contract work flows through open competition; 99 percent of awards carry no set-aside designation, with only one small-business award and one woman-owned small-business sole-source award across the five-year window. The contracting base is highly fragmented. By award count over the last five years, Intellectechs Inc. leads with 9 awards totaling $200 thousand, followed by a bundle of undisclosed domestic awardees with 7 awards worth $3.2 million and undisclosed foreign awardees with 4 awards; these top three categories account for 70 percent of recent awards but only modest dollar volume. By potential value, concentration is even lower: Ard, Inc. anchors with a single $37.3-million award, Social Impact Inc. holds one $21.5-million award, and Dexis Interactive LLC and Chemonics International each hold one award in the $14–15 million range. The top five by-value awardees cover only 33 percent of recent combined potential value, underscoring a marketplace where large individual contracts are rare and most wins are smaller engagements.

Grant activity encompasses 37 awards totaling $681.7 million in federal dollars obligated. Recent cadence shows 2 awards in 2020, 8 in 2021, 3 in 2023, 4 in 2024, and 1 year-to-date in 2025; the most recent grant award was recorded on 2025-01-16. Cooperative agreements dominate the assistance mix at 78 percent of awards, with Project Grants accounting for 22 percent. The recipient base is highly fragmented. By award count over the last five years, no single recipient exceeds one award; the top five recipients—ASG Association Subahi Gumo, United Nations Development Programme, Catholic Relief Services, World Education Inc., and Sigec SARL—cover 45 percent of recent awards. By federal dollars, concentration is similarly low at 13 percent coverage: Education Development Center leads with a single $46.5-million cooperative agreement, Family Health International holds $28 million, and Pact Inc. and Catholic Relief Services each hold awards exceeding $6 million. The fragmented recipient profile reflects USAID Mali's use of multiple implementing partners across health, education, and development sectors.
