About this opportunity

The Department of State Office of Acquisition Management has awarded contract 19AQMM26F1191 to MSI on a sole-source basis for Near Eastern Affairs Monitoring, Evaluation, Learning, and Analytic Services (NEA MELA), supporting foreign assistance programs in the Middle East and North Africa region.

The justification cites GSAR 538.7104-3(b)(iii), which permits sole-source awards on the Federal Supply Schedule when the order represents a logical follow-on to a previously awarded competitive FSS order. The Department emphasizes continuity requirements, stating that MSI has developed unique institutional knowledge over seven years of performance that cannot be replicated within required timeframes, including established relationships with operating units, existing regional infrastructure with security protocols, and established subcontractor networks.

The task order is Time and Materials and covers 12 months with a 6-month option period, totaling 18 months. Services include strategic planning and implementation, program and project design support, performance management, third-party monitoring, evaluations and assessments, data analysis and visualization, capacity strengthening, supplemental technical assistance, and embedded staffing. MSI must establish and maintain a regional office in Amman, Jordan as an operational hub for service delivery across the MENA region. The contracting officer has determined the action represents best value and will evaluate price reasonableness before award. The Department commits to issuing a full and open competitive solicitation for a department-wide IDIQ contract anticipated in FY27–28.
