US Mission in Yemen

The U.S. Agency for International Development Yemen (USAID Yemen), a civilian sub-agency of the U.S. Agency for International Development, administers development and humanitarian assistance programs in Yemen through both contracts and grants. The office coordinates funding for stabilization, health, governance, and humanitarian response work across a conflict-affected operating environment.

USAID Yemen has awarded 18 federal contracts totaling $82.6 million in combined potential value since 2010, with $74.4 million obligated across the portfolio. Recent contract volume has remained modest and irregular: 2 awards in 2019, 3 in 2020, 1 in 2021, 3 in 2023, and 4 in 2024. The most recent contract award closed on October 23, 2024. The contract base is highly fragmented competitively; PM Consulting Group LLC leads by award count with 4 recent awards totaling $539 thousand in potential value, while the remaining 7 recent awards are distributed across five other vendors (Bena Charity for Human Development, XL Associates Inc., Countertrade Products Inc., and Intellectechs Inc.). The portfolio shows no vendor commanding a material share of combined potential value. Two-thirds of awards carry no set-aside designation; the remainder split between Competitive 8(a) awards (22% of total) and small-business set-asides (6%).

USAID Yemen has awarded 24 federal grants totaling $317.7 million in combined federal dollars obligated since 2010. Grant activity peaked in 2018 with 7 awards; recent years have slowed considerably to 2 awards in 2022 and 1 in 2023. The most recent grant award closed on July 1, 2023. Grant recipients are highly fragmented; the top three recipients by federal dollars (John Snow Incorporated at $54.3 million, Consortium for Elections & Political Process Strengthening at $9.8 million, and Ark Group Dmcc at $4.7 million) account for only 22% of federal dollars obligated across the full portfolio, indicating a broad distribution across 20 distinct recipients. Three-quarters of grants are structured as Cooperative Agreements; the remainder are Project Grants. No recent contract opportunities or grant opportunities are recorded against the agency.
