SEGIR Commercial Legal and Institutional Reform (SEGIR CLIR)

USAID established this Master IDIQ for commercial, legal, and institutional development technical assistance on September 30, 2004, with a shared ceiling of $2.4 billion and ordering authority that closed on September 29, 2010—over fifteen years ago. The vehicle is no longer active for new task-order placement.

During its six-year ordering window, USAID awarded 20 task orders totaling $1.03 billion in combined potential value, with only $178.2 million obligated (17% of potential). Ordering intensity peaked in 2006 and 2007, averaging 7.5 orders per year, then declined to 2 orders in 2010 before the vehicle closed. All task orders were unrestricted (no set-aside designations).

Work contracted covers trade and investment reform, customs modernization, commercial law and regulation reform, institutional capacity building, and court-system strengthening across multiple countries. Representative recent orders funded Indonesia trade assistance programs, Ukraine trade and investment initiatives, Azerbaijan regulatory reform, Jordan customs administration modernization, and Latin America and Caribbean trade capacity building. Pricing structures span time-and-materials, labor-hour, firm-fixed-price, and cost-plus-no-fee models.

Chemonics International, Inc. dominated the vehicle, holding ten of twenty awards with $780.6 million in combined potential value (approximately 76% of total). Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. held six orders worth $192.1 million (roughly 19%). The remaining three primes—Ard, Inc.; University Research Corporation, International; and East-West Management Institute Inc.—collectively held four orders valued at $81.3 million (8%). Task-order values ranged from $25 thousand to $238.8 million in ceiling, with most orders running two to four years.

USAID itself (as the principal customer agency and regional missions) placed roughly 60% of orders by count. Indonesia, Ukraine, and Serbia missions concentrated significant value, with Indonesia orders alone exceeding $255 million in combined potential. Work was performed internationally, with geographic scope tied to individual mission priorities and country programs.

SEGIR-CLIR provides USAID Missions with a convenient contracting mechanism to access experienced technical expertise in the fields of commercial, legal, and institutional development.
