Office of Civil Rights and Diversity

The US Agency for International Development Office of Civil Rights and Diversity is a civilian sub-agency within USAID that procures contracts in support of civil rights and diversity program administration. The Office has awarded 37 contracts since 2012 with a combined potential value of $1.2 million, all dollars obligated. Contract activity has been sparse and declining: 3 awards in 2018, 7 in 2019, 2 in 2020, 5 in 2021, and 1 in 2022, with no recorded awards since January 2022.

The competitive landscape is highly fragmented. Bloomberg Finance LP holds the only recent award (one contract for $11 thousand in potential value), accounting for 100 percent of awards over the last five years and 1 percent of combined potential value. Across the portfolio history, 15 distinct prime contractors have been awarded, indicating no single vendor dominance and a transactional model centered on small, specialized procurements. Nearly all awards—36 of 37—carry no set-aside designation; 1 award is small-business set-aside.

No recent contract opportunities are recorded against the Office. No grant activity is present in the source data. The flatline in contract awards since early 2022 and the absence of open solicitations suggest minimal near-term procurement activity at this Office. A business development professional evaluating pursuit should treat the Office as a watch rather than pursue—the mission footprint is narrow, award sizes are small, and there is no visible pipeline of incoming work.
