Centro Boliviano Americano De Santa Cruz De La Sierra

Centro Boliviano Americano De Santa Cruz De La Sierra, a nonprofit educational institution based in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia, operates as a federal grant recipient delivering educational and cultural programming in support of U.S. State Department bilateral engagement objectives in Bolivia. The organization holds no federal contracts and operates exclusively as a prime grant recipient (100% of recent awards) under the Department of State, with all forty recent federal awards issued by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and the Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs.

Centro Boliviano Americano's work centers on three core program areas: EducationUSA advising and student recruitment for U.S. higher education, American Spaces cultural and educational programming, and English language instruction and professional development. Representative recent awards include a May 2026 Project Grant from the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs to fund EducationUSA advising support across five advising offices in Bolivia running through April 2027; a June 2024 Project Grant from the same bureau to manage EducationUSA funds nationwide across Bolivia's advising centers through September 2026; a June 2024 Project Grant from the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs for American Spaces programming, technology, advertising, and makerspace implementation through January 2027; and an October 2024 Project Grant from the Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs to organize the ABLA 2025 conference in Santa Cruz de la Sierra through July 2025. Earlier awards supported English language professional development (including TESOL Convention participation), youth entrepreneurship and STEM programming, virtual English instruction infrastructure, and cultural programming such as the Step Afrika performance series. Most awards carry no-cost amendments reflecting period-of-performance extensions and grant-officer changes rather than scope revision.

Customer concentration is singular. The Department of State accounts for 100% of awards, split between the Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs (24 awards) and the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (13 awards), with the Bureau of Public Affairs issuing three smaller awards. Combined dollars obligated across all forty awards total $1.2 million. Activity has declined from seven awards in 2021 to one award in 2026. Three awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months and therefore represent near-term recompete exposure. The organization maintains no federal contract footprint and no subcontractor relationships under federal awards.
