The Strengthening Tenure and Resource Rights (STARR) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract is a multiple-award vehicle designed to support U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) strategic objectives related to land tenure, property rights, and resource management. Primarily focused on international development, the contract enables technical assistance, research, evaluation, and implementation of programs that address complex resource tenure challenges across various sectors. The vehicle aims to improve land use planning, property rights documentation, land governance, and support strategic goals including food security, climate change adaptation, conflict mitigation, economic growth, and natural resource management.

Task orders under the STARR IDIQ predominantly focus on land rights and resource management in developing countries, with typical contract values ranging from $500,000 to $76 million and performance periods spanning 3-6 years. Frequent prime contractors include Chemonics International, Tetra Tech ARD, DAI Global LLC, and Cloudburst Consulting Group, who have executed task orders in countries such as Tanzania, Ukraine, Colombia, Ethiopia, Kosovo, and Tajikistan. The delivery orders are consistently awarded as cost-plus fixed fee contracts with no small business set-aside designation, indicating a preference for experienced international development firms. Common activities include land use planning, property rights certification, institutional capacity building, policy development, and technical assistance in targeted regions, with primary funding originating from USAID's Bureau for Economic Growth, Agriculture and Trade and the Land Tenure and Property Rights Division.
