USAID Pakistan Architecture and Engineering Services IQC

The USAID Pakistan Architecture and Engineering Services Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) provides comprehensive architectural, engineering, and technical support services for various infrastructure and development projects in Pakistan. This master indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract enables USAID to rapidly procure specialized technical services across multiple sectors including municipal infrastructure, education, energy, water management, and project monitoring. The contract allows for flexible task order issuance to support critical development initiatives throughout different regions of Pakistan, with a total shared ceiling of $120 million and an original award date of September 30, 2011.

Task orders under this IDIQ consistently focus on engineering assessment, construction monitoring, environmental documentation, and technical verification services across multiple Pakistani provinces including Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Punjab. Typical task orders range from $200,000 to approximately $6.5 million, with durations generally spanning 1-3 years. The majority of task orders are issued as Time and Materials contracts, with occasional Firm Fixed Price task orders, and none of the task orders utilized small business set-asides. Common project types include municipal infrastructure development, school construction monitoring, water treatment plant assessments, irrigation project verification, and environmental documentation. While specific prime contractors are not clearly identifiable from the provided data, the task orders demonstrate USAID's strategic approach to technical service procurement in Pakistan through this flexible contracting mechanism.
