Instability, Crisis and Recovery Programs (ICRP)

The Instability, Crisis and Recovery Programs (ICRP) is an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle administered by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The vehicle is designed to support technical assistance, assessment, and programmatic support related to conflict mitigation, crisis response, and stabilization efforts in various global regions. Its primary focus appears to be providing flexible, rapid-response capabilities for USAID's Bureau for Democracy, Conflict, and Humanitarian Assistance, particularly the Office of Conflict Management and Mitigation (CMM). Task orders under this IDIQ cover a broad range of activities including conflict assessments, technical leadership, training development, research studies, and strategic programmatic support in regions experiencing instability or post-conflict transitions.

The task orders under the ICRP IDIQ demonstrate consistent engagement with multiple prime contractors, most prominently Amex International Incorporated and Tetra Tech ARD. Typical task order values range from approximately $25,000 to over $49 million, with contract durations typically spanning 2-5 years. Most task orders utilize time and materials or firm fixed price pricing structures, with no specific small business set-aside designations. The primary place of performance is Washington, D.C., though task orders frequently involve international work in regions such as Afghanistan, Georgia, Kosovo, Serbia, Chad, Niger, and the North Caucasus. Common funding sources include USAID's Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance, Bureau for Democracy, Conflict and Humanitarian Assistance, and regional bureaus. Key service types include conflict assessments, technical leadership support, training development, research studies, and programmatic guidance for stabilization and conflict mitigation initiatives.
