About this vehicle
USAID's Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance awarded this Master IDIQ on April 8, 2019, to support the Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET) for food security monitoring and early warning work globally, but ordering closed on April 6, 2024, and the vehicle is no longer active.
The vehicle carried a $900 million shared ceiling and was structured to award up to five indefinite delivery indefinite quantity contracts for technical and operational support to FEWS NET's operations across up to 26 countries. Work performed includes food security monitoring, early warning dissemination, livelihood baseline activities, and strategic planning support for acute food insecurity assessment worldwide, with administrative oversight at USAID headquarters in Washington, D.C. and operations globally. The originating solicitation included a partial small business set-aside for management of a learning and data hub with a $100 million ceiling; in practice, all three awarded task orders used no set-aside designation and competed unrestricted.
Ordering activity was sparse: three task orders awarded over approximately four years, with one order in 2019, one in 2022, and one in 2023. Combined potential value across all orders is $163.4 million, with $159 million obligated (97% of potential). Competition is highly concentrated. Chemonics International, Inc. holds two of three orders worth $149.8 million combined potential value; Ard, Inc. holds the remaining order worth $13.6 million. USAID Mexico placed two orders totaling $24.7 million combined potential; USAID headquarters placed one order for $138.7 million. Task orders span cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing with typical ceilings between $11.1 million and $138.7 million and performance periods extending through early 2025. The vehicle's original seven-year period of performance ran from September 2017 through September 2024; all remaining active task orders have been terminated for convenience with ultimate completion dates in February or March 2025.
