WBG Building Foundations Program

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) West Bank and Gaza Building Foundations Program is a Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle focused on infrastructure development and construction services in the West Bank and Gaza region. The contract vehicle, with a shared ceiling of $500 million, enables USAID to rapidly procure construction and infrastructure improvement services through multiple pre-qualified prime contractors. The vehicle supports critical infrastructure projects, particularly in water supply, wastewater collection systems, and community development initiatives.

Three key task orders demonstrate the vehicle's scope, with each focusing on infrastructure rehabilitation and expansion in Palestinian territories. Recent task orders have ranged from $14.3 million to $19.5 million, with project durations typically spanning 18-24 months. Prime contractors have included Apco/Arcon Construction and Services, Morganti Group, Inc., and Blumont Global Development, Inc. The task orders consistently target water and sanitation infrastructure, such as wastewater collection systems in Jericho and Tulkarem, and distribution network rehabilitation in Yatta. None of the task orders utilized small business set-asides, and all were firm fixed-price contracts with performance exclusively in the West Bank region. These projects align with USAID's broader objectives of building resilient and inclusive communities in conflict environments.
