US Mission in Mexico

US Agency for International Development Mexico, a civilian sub-agency, administers bilateral development assistance, technical cooperation, and capacity-building programs in Mexico, procuring implementing services through competitive contracting and funding development initiatives through cooperative agreements and project grants. The agency operates as part of the broader USAID portfolio but exercises independent contracting and grant authority for its regional mission.

USAID Mexico's contract footprint spans $4.09 billion in combined award potential value across 263 awards since 2008, with $2.32 billion obligated. Award volume has averaged 43 to 61 awards annually over the last five years—43 in 2021, 45 in 2022, 61 in 2023, 47 in 2024, and 3 year-to-date in 2025. The prime contractor base is moderately concentrated: the top five primes by award count hold 28 percent of recent awards, while the top five by potential value hold 19 percent of combined potential value. Chemonics International, Inc. leads by value with 9 awards totaling $246.2 million, followed by Usmax Corporation with $157.1 million across 2 awards and DAI Global LLC with $156 million across 4 awards. PM Consulting Group LLC ranks first by recent award count with 15 awards valued at $104.2 million. The remaining 116 distinct contractors across the portfolio hold proportionally distributed work. Contract awards are predominantly open to unrestricted competition: 87 percent carry no set-aside designation. Small business set-asides account for 6 percent of awards, with 5 percent in Competitive 8(a), 2 percent in Woman-Owned Small Business, and less than 1 percent in partial small business.

The agency's grant portfolio is minimal by volume and highly fragmented by recipient. Sixty-one grant awards since 2008 have obligated $246.4 million in federal dollars. Grant activity is sparse and episodic—5 awards in 2020, 7 in 2021, 1 in 2023, 3 in 2024, and 1 in 2025. The top five recipients by count hold 100 percent coverage because each recipient received only one award; no single recipient dominates the grant portfolio. The largest single award went to Fondo Mexicano Para La Conservacion De La Naturaleza, A.C. at $3.5 million federal dollars. Grants are structured predominantly as Cooperative Agreements, which account for 79 percent of awards, with Project Grants comprising 21 percent.
