Crossboundary LLC

Crossboundary LLC, a Washington D.C.-based mission-driven investment firm, provides development finance advisory, transaction structuring, and investment mobilization services to civilian federal agencies as both a prime contractor (41% of recent awards) and subcontractor (59% of awards), competing exclusively in full and open competition with no set-aside designations.

Crossboundary's customer base concentrates heavily on development finance and international investment portfolios. The International Development Finance Corporation dominates the portfolio by dollar value (21 awards, $173 million combined potential value across all phases) but the top five customer agencies by award count—led by USAID Bureau for Management Office of the Assistant Administrator (27 awards), IDFC (21 awards), and USAID (13 awards)—account for 84% of all awards. This concentration reflects Crossboundary's specialization in emerging-market development finance work, where IDFC and USAID represent its core customer set. IDFC alone anchors $173 million in combined potential value across a portfolio that includes Africa Investment Advisors staffing ($16.6 million), transaction advisory services ($6 million), environmental and social specialist support across sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America, and strategic initiative work in South Africa. Recent activity also includes a $951 thousand blended finance consultancy award from the Millennium Challenge Corporation on a time-and-materials basis through August 2027, and a $2.2 million platform project award from USAID Mozambique running through April 2026.

Crossboundary holds a $100 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with IDFC (ultimate completion September 2028) covering international and domestic staffing and recruiting services across five service areas: management consulting, investment advisory, financial advisory and management, economic analysis, and program implementation support. The firm also carries a $7.5 million single-award IDC with IDFC for Office of Equity and Investment Funds direct equity consulting services (completion December 2028), a $7.5 million multiple-award IDFC private equity investment advisors IDC (completion November 2025), and two $7.5 million Blanket Purchase Agreements under Ex-Im Bank's Multiple Award Schedule: one for loan underwriting due diligence and analysis (completion January 2031) and one for other related activities covering labor hours and labor and materials pricing (completion January 2031). The firm also holds a GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract effective through June 2029 with a $1.5 million ceiling, offering 13 labor categories spanning administrative support through senior advisory roles priced from $101.70/hr to $469.06/hr, with no cleared positions offered.

Activity has accelerated year over year, growing from seven awards in 2022 to a peak of 33 in 2024, though 2025 and 2026 show five and four awards respectively in the current snapshot. Five awards totaling $13.5 million face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and expose the firm to recompete risk. The firm operates as a subcontractor on roughly two-thirds of recent work, with DAI Global LLC representing by far the largest prime relationship (26+ sub-awards across USAID's Prosper Africa Trade and Investment initiative, Power Africa programs, and other USAID development finance work), followed by Deloitte Consulting LLP (West Africa Energy Program and Nigeria Power Sector Program work), Chemonics International (Climate Finance for Development Accelerator work with USAID Brazil and Southern Africa), and Research Triangle Institute. Across its sub work, Crossboundary delivers transaction advisory, investment facilitation, market assessments, deal structuring, and technical advisory services to support USAID and other agencies' capital mobilization and private sector investment objectives in Africa, Latin America, and South Asia.

SCI-reported federal service-contract invoicing totals $370 thousand across FY2023 alone, representing 1.1 FTEs delivered as prime on SCI-reportable contracts; the dataset shows roughly 15.4 FTEs on SCI-reportable prime contracts in FY2024, though the broader FTE trajectory reflects variable sub-reporting patterns across a small prime footprint. Government-paid rates on SCI prime records run to $158.32/hr. The vendor's award mix by NAICS reflects its positioning: all-other professional, scientific, and technical services (36 awards) and administrative management and general management consulting services (19 awards) dominate the taxonomy. Crossboundary LLC operates through a named subsidiary, Crossboundary East Africa LIMITED, a for-profit limited liability company.
