About this vehicle

The US Agency for International Development Bureau for Management Office of the Assistant Administrator established HABITAT, a Master IDIQ for technical assistance, training, and capacity-building in urban and local governance, on September 25, 2014, with a shared ceiling of $650 million. The vehicle is no longer accepting orders; the last date to place orders was September 24, 2019—more than six years ago. This vehicle is closed to new procurement.

HABITAT funded 18 task orders over its active life, with activity concentrated in 2016 (8 orders) and moderate trailing activity in 2017 and 2019 (4 orders each). The portfolio obligated $505.2 million of $554.8 million combined potential value—91 percent utilization. Ard, Inc. dominates the vehicle, holding 7 orders worth $252 million in combined potential value; DAI Global LLC follows with 4 orders totaling $126.4 million. Chemonics International and Deloitte Consulting hold smaller positions, with the remaining two primes splitting minimal volume. These five firms capture 97 percent of potential value. Individual task orders ranged widely: a municipal waste-recycling effort was obligated at $14 million, while the Honduras Local Governance Activity reached $71.6 million. Most awards used Cost Plus Fixed Fee pricing.

USAID itself was the dominant customer, with orders from USAID's main bureau and regional missions (Honduras, Egypt, Jordan) and functional bureaus (Economic Growth Education and Environment) accounting for roughly 44 percent of task orders and concentrating work in governance, water and sanitation, waste management, and local service delivery across West Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, and South Asia. Ninety-four percent of task orders were unrestricted; one small-business set-aside order of $1.3 million existed.

BD professionals should treat HABITAT as a historical reference only. No new work is available under this vehicle.

Description

The goal of HABITAT is to provide access to short- and long-term technical services, training, and capacity-building related to improving urban and local governance in the following five functional areas: Improved urban and local government public service delivery with an emphasis on transportation, water and sanitation; Improved autonomy, transparency, responsiveness and accountability of urban and local governments; Enhanced ability of urban and local governments to adapt to climate change, improve environmental management practices and pollution control systems; Improved urban and local government disaster preparedness, response and recovery; and Improved urban and local government finance, credit worthiness and borrowing.
