US Mission in Mongolia

US Agency for International Development Mongolia (USAID Mongolia), a civilian sub-agency of the U.S. Agency for International Development operating within the State Department, administers bilateral development assistance and humanitarian programs in Mongolia through both contract and grant mechanisms. USAID Mongolia funds development initiatives across agriculture, health, governance, and emergency response sectors aligned with U.S. foreign policy objectives in Central Asia.

The agency's contract portfolio consists of four awards totaling $281.3 million in combined potential value across three distinct prime contractors since 2006. Combined dollars obligated stand at $34.4 million (12% of potential value), reflecting the typical structure of development contracts where option periods and performance milestones extend obligation over time. Award activity has been sparse and episodic: one award in 2006, one in 2011, one in 2014, and one in 2020 (the most recent award closed 5 years 11 months before today). All four contract awards carry no set-aside designation. The competitive structure cannot be meaningfully characterized given the three-vendor base and sparse four-award history; concentration analysis is not supportable at this portfolio depth.

USAID Mongolia's grant portfolio is more recent and active than its contract side, comprising four awards obligating $24.9 million in combined federal dollars distributed across four distinct recipients. Grant awards began in December 2019 and accelerated in 2023 with three awards closing in that year; the most recent grant award closed 3 years 3 months before today. The grant portfolio is highly fragmented by both award count and federal dollars: the top three recipients by count (Mongolian Red Cross Society, Pact, Inc., and Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations) account for 100% of recent awards; by federal dollars, the same three recipients cover only 27% of the federal-dollar total, indicating that a fourth unreported recipient holds the remaining 73% of obligated funds. The grant assistance mix is predominantly Cooperative Agreements (75%) with a smaller share of Project Grants (25%). Pact, Inc. leads by federal dollars at $4.6 million across one Cooperative Agreement; Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations received $2 million; Mongolian Red Cross Society received $200 thousand.

No recent federal contract opportunities or grant opportunities are recorded against USAID Mongolia in the source data. The agency's contract activity ended in 2020 and grant activity most recently in July 2023; no current solicitations are evident. Business development professionals should monitor the agency for future funding announcements rather than pursue active opportunities at this time.
