Water and Development IDIQ (WADI)

The US Agency for International Development Office of the Assistant Administrator established this Master IDIQ on August 19, 2014, to procure water-sector services including data collection and management, assessment and analysis, strategic planning and design, capacity building and institutional strengthening, and performance monitoring and evaluation. The vehicle's ordering period closed on November 25, 2021, and no new task orders have been issued since May 24, 2018—the vehicle is no longer active for new procurements.

The IDIQ operated for roughly three years of active ordering. Task-order awards peaked at six in 2015, declining to one by 2018. Of 13 total task orders, 11 carried no set-aside designation; one was set aside as total small business and one as partial small business. Combined potential value stands at $434.9 million, with $427.1 million obligated (98% of potential). Task-order values range from approximately $306,000 to $75 million, with most orders in the $25 million to $50 million band and pricing structured as cost-plus-fixed-fee or firm-fixed-price.

DAI Global LLC dominates the vehicle, holding five awards representing $241.8 million in combined potential value (56% of the combined vehicle total). ARD, Inc. holds two awards worth $77.8 million. Research Triangle Institute, Natural Resources Consulting Engineers, Inc., and DT Global Inc. each hold one award. Seven distinct prime contractors were awarded across the portfolio.

Task orders funded programs in water, sanitation, and hygiene across multiple USAID regional missions and bureaus. Major programs included the Haiti Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) Project ($46.7 million), Indonesia Urban Water and Sanitation (IUWASH PLUS) ($48.4 million), Water Resources Integrated Development Initiative (WARIDI) ($48.8 million), Kenya Integrated Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (KIWASH) ($58.2 million), and the Lebanon water management initiative ($75.1 million). Work was performed internationally across Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.

This vehicle closed to new ordering nearly five years ago and should not be pursued for new work; existing contractors with active task orders may pursue option periods or modifications to existing delivery orders if available.

Through this IDIQ, the Office of Water will facilitate Missions access to cross-cutting services in the water sector, including Data Collection and Management, Assessment and Analysis, Strategic Planning and Design, Capacity Building and Institutional Strengthening, and Performance Monitoring and Evaluation for the implementation of their field programs.
