Agova Zambia LIMITED

Agova Zambia LIMITED operates exclusively as a subcontractor to development-focused prime contractors, delivering agricultural business advisory training and capacity-building services to the US Agency for International Development (USAID). The vendor is a non-profit organization with three federal contract sub-awards totaling $287 thousand, all subcontracted through ACDI/VOCA across the same funding agency, and holds no prime contracting awards or federal grant positions.

Agova's footprint is narrow and specialized. All three sub-awards fund components of the EDGE activity, a USAID agricultural development initiative addressing profitability constraints for small and medium enterprises in Zambia through training and advisory support to business improvement advisors. The work spans business and financial management, evidence-based decision making, investment planning, contract negotiation, team building, human resource management, leadership, entrepreneurship, and customer service. Awards date from November 2023, March 2024, and April 2024, respectively. The vendor serves a single customer agency — USAID Zambia — and operates under NAICS 541600 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services).

Service Contract Inventory records show minimal SCI-reportable activity: two SCI records across fiscal years 2022–2024, both reflecting subcontractor engagement. The vendor's SCI-tracked workforce scaled from 2.8 FTEs in FY2022 to 1.9 FTEs in FY2024 — a partial and incomplete picture of federal services work, as SCI covers only contracts above the $150,000 threshold and excludes goods, products, and non-federal revenue. The combined $287 thousand in obligated federal dollars across the three sub-awards falls near the SCI reporting floor, reflecting the vendor's small scale relative to larger federal contractors.

Agova operates entirely within the ACDI/VOCA subcontractor relationship and brings no parent vehicles, BPAs, or multiple-agency footprint to potential teaming arrangements. The vendor's federal footprint is characterized by deep specialization in agricultural SME development and advisory capacity building for USAID programs in the Zambia country office, with no recorded work across other agencies or geographic regions. For business development purposes, Agova is relevant primarily to primes pursuing USAID agricultural development activities in sub-Saharan Africa and seeking local or regional advisory-delivery capacity.
