The Regional Integration and Stronger Economies (RISE) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, awarded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Kenya and East Africa Mission, supports technical assistance services aimed at enhancing economic development across the East Africa region. The contract focuses on improving market systems, facilitating cross-border trade, developing more competitive industries, and creating market-oriented policy environments. With a total shared ceiling of $95 million and a seven-year performance period, the IDIQ enables USAID to rapidly procure specialized services supporting regional economic integration and development initiatives.

Task orders under this IDIQ consistently target economic growth and resilience across East African countries, with values ranging from approximately $12 million to $23 million and performance periods of 4-5 years. Prime contractors frequently include established international development firms such as Tetra Tech ARD, Chemonics International, Research Triangle Institute (RTI), and Palladium International. The task orders have consistently addressed sector-specific challenges, including youth economic opportunities in Tanzania, cross-border community resilience in Kenya, sustainable export facilitation in Rwanda, and regional agricultural market systems development. No set-aside designations have been used in the awarded task orders, and the place of performance encompasses countries within the East African Community and Intergovernmental Authority on Development regions, with a consistent focus on cost-plus-fixed-fee contract structures.
