The federal contract IDV award is a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) held by Control Union (United States), Inc. to provide marine cargo discharge/delivery survey services in Cameroon, Ethiopia, and Somalia under the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) food assistance programs. The contract, awarded by the USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS), has a total ceiling value of $1,000,000 and a period of performance through September 30, 2025. The contracted services include surveying containerized, bulk, and breakbulk commodity shipments to support the safe and efficient delivery of U.S. agricultural products to food-insecure regions. This IDC allows the AMS and other USDA offices to issue task orders for Control Union's services as needed, providing flexibility in supporting the agency's global food aid initiatives. The original solicitation, which did not utilize any set-asides, aimed to award a firm-fixed price contract to a single vendor per country to perform these critical survey and logistics management functions for USDA food assistance programs. In addition to this $1 million IDC, Control Union holds several other USDA Indefinite Delivery Contracts, demonstrating the company's long-standing relationship and expertise in supporting the agency's international food donation efforts. These include a $200,000 multiple-award IDC with the AMS for logistics and handling services of donated agricultural products, as well as a $100,000 single-award IDC with the Farm Service Agency Kansas City Commodity Office for continued support of global food aid shipments.
