About this award
Ard, Inc. (doing business as Tetra Tech ARD), a subsidiary of Tetra Tech, Inc., received a delivery order valued at $48.7 million under the Strengthening Tenure and Resource Rights II (STARR II) indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract to support the West Africa Regional Program's WABILED (Wildlife Law Enforcement and Biodiversity) Task Order. Awarded on June 30, 2021, with an ultimate completion date of February 14, 2025, this cost-plus-fixed-fee contract was terminated for convenience and performed in Ghana. The WABILED initiative aims to strengthen national and regional networks and institutions by building their capacity to enforce and prosecute wildlife trafficking laws while improving regional and transboundary cooperation in conservation efforts. The contract was awarded competitively without set-aside designation, leveraging Ard, Inc.'s extensive expertise in international development, technical assistance, and environmental conservation acquired through its ongoing work with the U.S. Agency for International Development across multiple countries.
Ard, Inc. engaged a collaborative team of specialized subcontractors to execute the project objectives. Primary technical assistance partners included Born Free USA (awarded multiple sub-contracts from July 2022 through April 2023), Re:wild (February 2023), Traffic International (January 2023), and Dalberg Consulting US LLC (May 2023). These subcontractors provided complementary expertise in wildlife law enforcement capacity building, conservation strategy development, and technical advisory services. Born Free USA, a nonprofit focused on animal protection, supported training delivery and educational materials development, while Traffic International and Re:wild contributed specialized knowledge in anti-trafficking efforts and conservation planning. This multi-stakeholder approach aligned with the West Africa Regional Program's objective of strengthening institutional capacity for wildlife crime detection and prosecution across the region.
