The USAID Southern Africa Program Evaluation Services Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle is designed to provide comprehensive evaluation services for USAID programs in Southern Africa, specifically targeting Botswana, Lesotho, and Swaziland. The primary objective of this master contract is to enable timely access to specialized evaluation expertise for various development programs. Task orders under this vehicle focus on conducting performance evaluations, data quality assessments, and longitudinal studies across diverse sectors including education, health, civil society, and capacity building initiatives.

None of the task orders utilized specific set-aside designations, and all were awarded directly by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). The contract vehicle was originally established on July 17, 2012, with a shared ceiling of $5 million, and the most recent task order data extends through mid-2016.
