SEGIR Macro II

The US Agency for International Development Bureau for Management Office of the Assistant Administrator established the SEGIR Macro II Master IDIQ on September 30, 2004, with a shared ceiling of $2.4 billion and a last date to order of September 30, 2009—the vehicle is now closed to new ordering and has been inactive for over 16 years.

The vehicle funded technical assistance and advisory services across USAID's development portfolio: fiscal reform and tax administration; trade capacity building in Andean countries; financial institution modernization in the Palestinian Authority; institutional capacity building in Azerbaijan, Angola, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and South Sudan; and food security portfolio evaluation in East Africa. Task orders covered economic growth analysis, country-analytic assessments, and program evaluation. Most work was priced as time-and-materials or firm-fixed-price, with individual ceiling values ranging from under $200,000 to over $680 million.

Twenty-eight task orders were awarded between June 2005 and March 2009, with peak activity in 2006 (17 orders). The combined potential value of awarded orders totaled $1.92 billion, of which $362.7 million (19 percent) was obligated. All orders were unrestricted; no set-asides were used.

Seven prime contractors shared the work, with substantial concentration at the top. One group of undisclosed domestic awardees held ten orders worth $1.46 billion in combined potential value (76 percent of total vehicle value). International Business Initiatives LLC, Booz Allen Hamilton Inc., DAI Global LLC, and Nathan Associates LLC respectively held smaller shares. Three customer agencies used the vehicle: USAID proper placed 15 of the 28 orders ($787.3 million potential value), with regional bureaus accounting for the remainder.

The vehicle supported a geographically dispersed portfolio spanning sub-Saharan Africa (South Sudan, Liberia, Armenia), South Asia (Afghanistan-Pakistan region), Central Asia (Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan), Eastern Europe (Bosnia and Herzegovina), and the Middle East (Palestinian Authority). USAID's primary beneficiary was economic governance and fiscal management in fragile and developing states.
