Office of Human Capital and Talent Management

The U.S. Agency for International Development Office of Human Capital and Talent Management is a sub-agency within USAID that procures human resources, workforce development, and organizational management services to support the parent agency's international development operations. The Office transacts primarily through contracts with a minimal grant program; contract activity dominates the federal funding footprint.

The Office has awarded 161 total federal contracts since 2005, with combined potential value of $367.6 million and $169.5 million obligated to date. Over the last five years, activity has remained modest but steady: 1 award in 2020, 1 in 2021, 4 in 2022, 5 in 2023, and 4 in 2024. The most recent contract award closed on 2024-09-27. Among the 13 awards recorded over the last five years, one carried no reported potential value, typical of Schedule task orders or BPA calls. The Office transacts through 102 distinct prime contractors across the full portfolio history.

Recent competitive concentration is highly fragmented by award count, with the top five primes accounting for just 46 percent of recent awards. The Konterra Group LLC leads by combined potential value among recent awards at $36.7 million, followed by Wolf Lake Services, LLC at $25 million. Award counts are sparse — the top five primes each hold only one or two recent awards — and no single contractor dominates the landscape. The remaining long tail of contractors each appear once or twice in recent activity.

Contract set-asides are negligible. Ninety-six percent of awards carry no set-aside designation. Eight-point-one awards fall under 8(a) (two sole-source, one competitive), and one award is a small-business set-aside.

The Office has made 2 total federal grant awards since 2017, both structured as Cooperative Agreements for a combined federal obligation of $19.5 million. The most recent grant award closed on 2021-09-30. A single grant recipient has received both awards, making the grant portfolio highly concentrated but also dormant — no grant activity is recorded since 2021.

Recent contract opportunities specific to this sub-office are not detailed in available source data. Prospective vendors should monitor USAID's central procurement channels and the Office's contracting officer announcements for upcoming solicitations in human capital, talent management, and organizational development services.
