FORECAST

The FORECAST Indefinite Quantity/Indefinite Quality (IDIQ) contract, awarded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) on May 12, 2005, is a master contract vehicle focused on human and institutional capacity development services. The contract supports a wide range of international development activities, including training programs, leadership development, educational exchanges, and technical assistance across multiple countries. Task orders under this vehicle primarily target capacity building, policy economics training, and strategic development initiatives in regions such as Russia, Nicaragua, Indonesia, Armenia, and Cyprus.

Task orders under the FORECAST IDIQ consistently demonstrate a Time and Materials or Cost Plus Fixed Fee pricing structure, with values ranging from approximately $300,000 to over $10 million. Key contractors include World Learning Inc. and Domestic Awardees, who have executed task orders supporting programs like Peace Scholarships, Training Future Leaders, and Public Administration Reform. The task orders exhibit no specific set-aside designations and frequently involve participant training, professional development, and institutional strengthening across public and private sectors. Performance locations span multiple international regions, with a focus on developing countries where USAID seeks to enhance governance, economic potential, and cross-cultural understanding through targeted capacity development interventions.
