Office of Afghanistan and Pakistan Affairs

The US Agency for International Development Office of Afghanistan and Pakistan Affairs is a civilian sub-agency within USAID that manages bilateral development assistance, technical support, and capacity-building contracts and grants in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

The Office has awarded 31 federal contracts totaling $240.5 million in combined potential value since 2010, with $217.7 million obligated to date. Contract activity has been sparse in recent years: 7 awards in 2017, 3 in 2018, 1 in 2019, 2 in 2020, and 1 in 2024. The most recent award closed on September 26, 2024. All 31 awards across the portfolio carry no set-aside designation. Recent contract activity is highly fragmented — the only recorded award in the last five years (2024) went to a domestic awardee with $258 thousand in potential value, and the Office has awarded to 11 distinct prime contractors across its lifetime portfolio. Limited current contract competitive intelligence is available from this sparse recent activity; the portfolio's concentration reflects inactive or minimal current procurement rather than a stable competitive structure.

The Office has funded 2 federal grants totaling $211.9 million in combined federal dollars obligated. Both grants were Cooperative Agreements awarded to a single recipient in 2014 (February 1 and May 19). No grant awards have closed since 2014. The absence of recent grant activity means current funding priorities cannot be inferred from award patterns.

No recent contract opportunities or grant opportunities are recorded against the Office. The combination of single-digit awards annually in prior years, a single 2024 contract award with minimal value, and an absence of grant activity since 2014 suggests the Office is not maintaining an active procurement or grant-making cadence at this time. Firms seeking USAID development work in the Afghanistan and Pakistan region should monitor the Office's solicitation channels directly, as standard federal opportunity feeds may not capture activity if operations have substantially contracted.
