MCC Threshold Compact Development Support BPA

The Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) Threshold Compact Development Support Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) is a comprehensive contract vehicle designed to support the agency's international development and economic growth initiatives. Established under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.5 for commercial items, this master BPA enables rapid procurement of specialized consulting and evaluation services across six primary scope areas: Threshold and Compact Development, Monitoring and Evaluation, Economic Analysis, Finance, Investment and Trade, Social and Gender Issues, and Institutional Review Boards. The vehicle allows MCC to quickly engage contractors for technical assistance, program evaluation, and advisory services in developing countries that demonstrate commitments to good governance and economic development.

Task orders under this BPA consistently involve time and materials contracts with values ranging from approximately $200,000 to $6 million, typically with performance periods between 2-5 years. Frequent prime contractors include Mathematica Inc., Nathan Associates, Social Impact Inc., and Integra Government Services International LLC, who provide services such as independent program evaluations, economic analysis, gender and social inclusion consulting, and technical assistance across multiple countries. The task orders predominantly support MCC's international development programs in regions including Africa, Asia, and Latin America, with no set-aside designations commonly used. Contractors typically perform work both in the target countries and in Washington, D.C., focusing on sectors like water and sanitation, education, community development, land management, and energy infrastructure. The BPA reflects MCC's approach to supporting economic growth and poverty reduction through rigorous, evidence-based program design and evaluation.
