Global Advisory and Support Services

The Department of State Bureau of Political Military Affairs awarded this Master IDIQ on September 30, 2019, with a shared ceiling of $150 million and a last date to order of September 29, 2024—the vehicle is no longer accepting new task orders. The vehicle is fully unrestricted; all 48 task orders issued carry no set-aside designation. Ordering has closed as of mid-2024, making this vehicle inactive for new pursuit, though existing orders remain in execution through 2025 and beyond.

Sincerus Global Solutions Inc., Culmen International, LLC, and Academi Training Center LLC dominate the vehicle. Sincerus holds 25 of 48 orders with $24 million in combined potential value, Culmen holds 14 orders worth $13.3 million, and Academi holds 9 orders worth $11.5 million—together accounting for 48 of 48 task orders. Competition is closed; a small three-firm pool captured 100% of awards.

The Bureau of Political Military Affairs funds 46 of 48 task orders totaling $43.5 million in potential value; the Bureau of African Affairs funds the remaining two orders worth $5.3 million. Customer concentration is high; one office drives the overwhelming majority of work.

Scope centers on advisory services delivery worldwide. Task orders fund embedded senior advisors and operational readiness advisors stationed in individual countries—recent awards cover Ukraine, Panama, Guyana, Bulgaria, Oman, Montenegro, Peru, Kosovo, Armenia, and a long tail of other nations across Africa, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Latin America, and the Pacific. Training, reach-back facilitation, site coordinator monitoring, and life-support logistics are also contracted. Pricing is firm fixed price on nearly all orders, with at least one time-and-materials award (Senegal Advisor). Work is performed globally, with completion dates typically one fiscal year out.

Combined task-order potential value stands at $48.8 million against the $150 million vehicle ceiling, with $35.7 million obligated (73% of potential value). Individual order ceilings range from under $100 thousand to approximately $3.75 million, with typical single-country advisory orders in the $500 thousand to $1.5 million band. The vehicle has executed orders at a steady pace—between 8 and 10 per year since 2020—but the ordering window closed nearly two years ago, eliminating new pursuit opportunity under this vehicle.
