Through federal contract awards, Chemonics has performed a wide range of services across multiple countries and sectors.

As a subsidiary of Tetra Tech, Inc., MSI leverages expertise in areas such as democracy and governance, economic growth, education, and public health. The company has been registered in SAM.gov since 2002, indicating a long history of federal contracting.
