About this vehicle
This Master IDIQ is inactive and closed to new orders as of March 13, 2015. The U.S. Agency for International Development Bureau for Management Office of the Assistant Administrator established the Encouraging Global Anticorruption and Good Governance Efforts (ENGAGE) vehicle on March 14, 2008, to provide technical assistance for anticorruption strategy development and implementation across partner countries. The vehicle was superseded by Active Communities - Effective States, awarded September 30, 2021.
Ordering activity peaked early in the vehicle's life. The master IDIQ generated 31 task orders from June 2008 through September 2013, with annual awards declining from 11 orders in 2009 to 7 in 2013. The combined potential value across all orders was $404.5 million, of which $257.7 million (64 percent) was obligated.
Work contracted under ENGAGE spans governance and anticorruption assistance in specific countries and regions. Representative orders include Rule of Law III support in Mexico ($67.4 million ceiling), Indonesia justice-system strengthening ($23.9 million obligated), Albania's Millennium Challenge Corporation threshold program ($27.9 million ceiling), Good Governance in Georgia ($17.7 million ceiling), and supporting activities in El Salvador, Guatemala, Paraguay, Djibouti, Turkmenistan, and Lebanon. Orders also funded horizontal technical leadership and research in anticorruption programming for USAID missions worldwide.
Competition concentrated among a small number of established development firms. A single undisclosed domestic awardee captured 9 orders worth $151.4 million in combined potential value. The QED Group LLC held 7 orders ($89.9 million), and Chemonics International, Inc., held 5 orders ($71.1 million). These three firms accounted for roughly 60 percent of all task-order potential value. Four other primes—including Casals & Associates, Inc., and Ard, Inc.—split the remainder. Ninety percent of task orders carried no set-aside designation; the remaining 10 percent (3 orders) were total small business. Task-order values ranged from $24.8 thousand to $78.1 million in ceiling, with most orders structured as time-and-materials arrangements. Ordering responsibility concentrated within USAID itself, with the largest orders flowing through USAID Pakistan ($78.1 million) and USAID regional missions.
Description
The purpose of this Master IDIQ is to provide USAID and its partner countries with the broad range of technical assistance necessary to develop and implement appropriate and meaningful strategies to fight corruption and ensure accountability in public life. USAID defines corruption as the abuse of entrusted authority for private gain. This activity focuses on unilateral abuses by governmental officials such as embezzlement and nepotism, as well as abuses linking public and private actors such as bribery, extortion, influence peddling, and fraud, and at both lower and higher levels of government and the public sector.
