Programming Effectively Against Conflict and Extremism (PEACE)

The US Agency for International Development Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance established the Programming Effectively Against Conflict and Extremism (PEACE) Master IDIQ on August 1, 2013, to provide knowledge generation, dissemination, and management; training; field implementation; and analytical services for USAID's Office of Conflict Management and Mitigation. Ordering closed on September 12, 2020—over five years ago—making this vehicle closed to new task orders.

The IDIQ funded 29 delivery orders with a combined potential value of $286.3 million, of which $238.9 million (83%) has been obligated. The most recent task-order award occurred September 30, 2021, with ordering activity concentrated in the 2014–2019 window: four orders in 2017, two each in 2018 and 2019, one in 2020, and two in 2021. No task orders have been awarded since the September 2020 ordering deadline expired. The vehicle carries a $600 million shared ceiling.

Competition concentrates among five primes. Management Systems International, Inc. holds the largest share with ten orders totaling $123.9 million in potential value. DAI Global LLC follows with two orders worth $70.2 million, and Creative Associates International, Inc. holds four orders for $65.3 million. Democracy International, Inc. and Family Health International account for the remainder. Management Systems International and DAI Global together command over two-thirds of the vehicle's value.

Funding agencies are dispersed across USAID bureaus and regional missions. The top customers by order count include USAID Colombia (two orders, $63.6 million), USAID West Africa Regional Program (two orders, $31.3 million), and several USAID headquarters entities and regional missions with smaller allocations. No single customer captures dominant share.

All 29 task orders carry cost-plus-fixed-fee or firm-fixed-price pricing under unrestricted competition—no set-asides are designated. Task-order values range from $104,712 (Jordan situational assessment) to $63.2 million (Colombia Regional Governance Activity). Typical orders for research and analysis ranged from $200,000 to $2 million; larger implementation activities reached $12 million to $63 million. Performance spans conflict management programming, countering violent extremism activities, governance strengthening, and strategic assessments across Africa, South Asia, the Caucasus, and Central Asia. With ordering closed for nearly six years and no awards since 2021, this vehicle is inactive.
