Reverse Trade Missions, Conferences, Workshops, Training, and Other Events

The United States Trade and Development Agency (USTDA) has established a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for organizing reverse trade missions, conferences, workshops, training, and other related events both domestically and internationally. This contract vehicle, with a shared ceiling of $75 million, enables USTDA to quickly mobilize contractors to facilitate business-to-business engagements, technology transfers, and events that promote American exports and development projects abroad. The solicitation specifically sought contractors capable of organizing events within short timeframes, supporting high-level delegation visits, marketing activities to U.S. and foreign firms, and managing operations professionally across various industry sectors and global regions.

Task orders under this IDIQ consistently focus on sector-specific reverse trade missions and workshops, typically ranging from $250,000 to $2 million with performance periods of 18-24 months. Frequent prime contractors include Meridian International Center, Business Council for International Understanding (BCIU), Webster Group Inc., Tuatara Group LLC, and Busacc, with no consistent set-aside designation used across task orders. Common performance locations include Washington, D.C., Alexandria, Virginia, Houston, Texas, and New York, NY. The task orders cover diverse sectors such as healthcare technologies, clean energy, infrastructure financing, digital connectivity, aviation, cybersecurity, and climate technologies, with a strong emphasis on connecting U.S. businesses to international market opportunities. Funding consistently comes from USTDA, supporting its mission of promoting U.S. commercial interests in developing and middle-income countries.
