This indefinite delivery contract (IDC) was awarded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) to Creative Associates International, Inc., a minority-owned, woman-owned, for-profit organization based in Chevy Chase, Maryland. The $300 million, multiple-award IDC, titled "Reading for East Africa's Development (READ) IDIQ," aims to increase access to high-quality basic education and improve student learning outcomes, particularly in reading, in primary grades 1-8, pre-primary levels, and alternative education programs in public and non-state schools in Kenya, Ethiopia, South Sudan, Tanzania, and other East African countries. The contract, which has a period of performance through January 31, 2028, does not utilize any set-asides. It allows USAID to quickly mobilize technical assistance and implementation services across a range of areas, including classroom instruction, assessment, materials development, education systems strengthening, and research. This IDC is one of several high-value federal contract vehicles held by Creative Associates, enabling the company to support U.S. foreign assistance goals through rapid program deployment in regions experiencing political transitions, conflicts, or economic challenges.
