Middle East Regional Program Office, Frankfurt

The US Agency for International Development Middle East Regional Program Office Frankfurt, a sub-agency of the civilian development agency, procures goods, services, and grants to support development and humanitarian work across the Middle East region from its administrative base in Frankfurt.

The office has awarded 148 federal contracts since 2015, totaling $127.9 million in combined potential value with $84.8 million obligated. Contract activity has been modest: 6 awards in 2021, 13 in 2022, 14 in 2023, 8 in 2024, and 1 year-to-date in 2025. The most recent recorded award date is March 2025. The contract portfolio reflects highly concentrated competitive activity over the last five years by award count, with the top five prime contractors accounting for 81 percent of recent awards. Westphal Maler GMBH leads by award frequency with 12 recent contracts; PM Consulting Group LLC follows with 10 awards and $7.2 million in combined potential value. By potential value, however, the concentration is moderate: Deloitte Consulting LLP holds a single $58 million contract (52 percent coverage among the top five by value), while PM Consulting Group LLC's 10 awards represent $7.2 million. Among 45 distinct prime contractors in the portfolio, the long tail consists of vendors with single or handful awards. Contract activity is characterized by the absence of set-asides: 90 percent of awards carry no set-aside designation, with the remainder split between Competitive 8(a) (9 percent) and Total Small Business (1 percent). Two of the 37 recent awards lack reported potential value, typical of Schedule task orders or BPA calls.

The office has issued 4 federal grant awards since 2019, totaling $114.9 million in federal dollars obligated and $119.9 million including non-federal cost-share. Grant activity is episodic: 2 awards in 2019, 1 in 2022, and 1 in 2023, with no grants awarded in the last three years. The most recent grant award closed in February 2023. Grant recipients are highly concentrated: Beyaz Baretliler Dernegi and Ark Group Dmcc account for 100 percent of recent awards and 76 percent of federal dollars obligated (with Beyaz Baretliler Dernegi holding $74.3 million of the combined $87.3 million in their two-recipient pair). All four grant awards are structured as Cooperative Agreements.
