Management Systems International, Inc.
Management Systems International, Inc. (MSI) is a for-profit organization specializing in providing monitoring, evaluation, learning, and technical assistance services to U.S. government agencies in support of international development and foreign assistance programs. 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. MSI's services are designed to help government agencies improve the effectiveness and impact of their international development initiatives through data-driven decision-making and evidence-based programming.
Through prime federal contracts, MSI has provided a wide range of services across multiple regions. These include performance management and evaluation services in Iraq ($22.8 million), monitoring and evaluation support in Zambia ($28.5 million), and strengthening public accountability in Uganda ($28.9 million). MSI has also implemented programs to promote democracy and stability in Guatemala ($37.8 million), strengthen national-level anti-corruption systems in North Macedonia ($11.4 million), and support USAID's transition initiatives in Moldova ($46.9 million) and Colombia ($140.7 million). The company has conducted evaluations of USAID programs in Kosovo, provided facilitation services for USAID Malawi, and implemented monitoring and evaluation activities in Mozambique. As a subcontractor, MSI has supported prime contractors like Encompass LLC, The Kaizen Company, and Education Development Center on various USAID projects related to education, inclusive development, and knowledge sharing. These contracts typically do not have set-aside designations, reflecting MSI's status as a large, established contractor.
In terms of federal grant awards, MSI's involvement appears to be more limited compared to its contract work. The company was awarded a $225,974 cooperative agreement by the State Department's Bureau of Counterterrorism to provide training and case-based mentoring to enhance the capabilities of security and justice stakeholders. This grant, running from September 2021 to August 2023, represents MSI's involvement in supporting U.S. government efforts to build capacity in counterterrorism and security cooperation. While this is the only prime grant award listed, MSI has also participated as a subrecipient in grant-funded programs. For example, the company provided support for the QITABI 2 program, likely related to education initiatives in Lebanon, as part of a larger grant awarded to another organization.
MSI holds several significant indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts that allow for flexible, ongoing support to federal agencies. These include a $50,000 single-award IDIQ to support USAID missions in Western Balkans countries, an $800 million multiple-award IDIQ for USAID's Programming for Prevention and Peacebuilding (P4P2) mechanism, and a $150 million multiple-award IDIQ for the Building Resilient and Inclusive Communities in Conflict (BRICC) program in Syria. MSI is also a holder of the $5 billion Support Which Implements Fast Transition 6 (SWIFT 6) IDIQ with USAID, which enables the agency to respond flexibly and quickly to emerging political developments through adaptive and agile programming. These IDVs enable MSI to provide a range of services including conflict prevention, stabilization, security cooperation support, and rapid response programming in various global contexts, further solidifying its role as a key partner in U.S. international development efforts.

The company was awarded a $99 million Blanket Purchase Agreement by the Department of Labor to provide evaluation services through 2028, issued under GSA's Multiple Award Schedule. Social Impact also holds a position on DOS's $150 million Performance Management, Evaluation, and Learning Services (PMELS) multiple-award IDIQ, through which it has received task orders to evaluate programs in South Asia.
