The USDA Results-Oriented Management 2011-2017 Master IDIQ is a multiple-award contract vehicle focused on providing monitoring, evaluation, and assessment services for various international agricultural and development programs. The contract supports the United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA) foreign assistance and capacity-building initiatives, primarily targeting agricultural development, food assistance, and scientific cooperation programs across different international regions. Task orders under this vehicle encompass comprehensive program evaluations, learning agenda development, monitoring systems, and strategic assessments of agricultural and food security interventions.

Task orders under this IDIQ consistently demonstrate a focus on international development evaluation, with contract values ranging from $3,000 to approximately $740,000 and durations typically spanning 6-24 months. Key task orders include evaluations of specific programs such as the Borlaug Fellowship Program, McGovern-Dole School Feeding and Literacy Initiative, Cochran Fellowship Program, and agricultural development efforts in regions like Bangladesh, Armenia, and China. While multiple contractors appear to have been awarded task orders, Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. is notably referenced as a prime contractor. The contract vehicle does not utilize set-aside designations, indicating open competition, and focuses on evaluating USDA Foreign Agricultural Service and Global Programs initiatives across fragile market economies, scientific exchange programs, and international agricultural development contexts.
