CID Gallup CID S.A.

CID Gallup CID S.A., a Panama-based for-profit polling and public opinion research firm, delivers quantitative and qualitative research services to U.S. Department of State bureaus as a prime contractor, with nearly all recent awards falling under full-and-open (non-set-aside) purchase orders. The vendor operates from its headquarters in Panama and performs fieldwork across Central America, principally Honduras and Panama, collecting survey data, conducting focus groups, and analyzing public sentiment on security, migration, justice, and community resilience.

Customer concentration is extreme and static. The Department of State accounts for 100% of the 18 awards in the portfolio. Within State, the Bureau of Intelligence and Research (INR) anchors the relationship with nine awards totaling $909 thousand combined potential value, followed by the Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs with six awards totaling $192 thousand. The Office of the Secretary of State, US Embassy Tegucigalpa, and the Bureau of International Narcotics Law Enforcement round out the active set. Combined potential value across all awards stands at $1.2 million, with $1.3 million already obligated.

Recent representative work includes a $64.8 thousand purchase order from the Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs (awarded September 28, 2026) for a 12-month quantitative polling program monitoring Honduran attitudes toward illegal immigration and sentiment toward the United States, comprising two nationally representative survey rounds of approximately 1,200 respondents each with deliverables in multiple formats (SPSS, XLSX, PDF, PPTX, and bilingual summaries); an $81.6 thousand firm fixed-price contract from INR (July 30, 2024) for public opinion research through July 31, 2025; and a $27.5 thousand focus group engagement for the Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs (September 23, 2024) covering the 2024-2025 period. The vendor also holds a $99.2 thousand polling services order from the Office of the Secretary of State (August 21, 2023) under the Worldwide Support Services vehicle.

Activity has accelerated sharply in 2024 and 2025. The award count moved from one award in 2022 to two in 2023, seven in 2024, and two in 2025 and 2026 combined. The portfolio shows only two awards (combined potential value $84 thousand) with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months, limiting near-term recompete exposure. CID Gallup subcontracts on one federal grant to the University of Notre Dame du Lac, performing Wave 3 data collection and focus group work for the GREAT program evaluation in Honduras, a quantitative panel study of students and dropouts assessing a 13-course youth engagement curriculum. The vendor competes exclusively in full-and-open procurements without set-aside designations and maintains no identified vehicle positions (IDIQs, GWACs, or BPAs). Nearly all work is primary (94% of awards), with a single sub-award representing the grant evaluation role. The vendor's footprint is narrowly concentrated in Western Hemisphere public opinion research and evaluation support for State Department foreign policy and intelligence operations.
