Freddy Grover Mercado Jimenez

Freddy Grover Mercado Jimenez, a sole proprietor based in La Paz, Bolivia, operates as a monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MELS) specialist serving federal development and international affairs agencies as a prime contractor on time-and-materials and firm fixed-price definitive contracts, with no subcontract footprint. The vendor holds minority-owned business designation and competes under full-and-open procurement without set-aside protection.

Freddy Grover Mercado Jimenez's federal work centers on fieldwork-intensive development evaluation and research support for grassroots development initiatives in Latin America. Recent representative contracts include a $148,519 time-and-materials MELS services contract awarded by the Inter-American Foundation on January 4, 2024, for monitoring, evaluation, and learning activities in La Paz Department, Bolivia, carrying an ultimate completion date of April 12, 2026 (with base period of twelve months plus two optional twelve-month extension periods), and a $91,063 firm fixed-price IAF MELS Bolivia definitive contract awarded April 9, 2026, with completion scheduled for April 12, 2027. The vendor's capability profile emphasizes performance data review, stakeholder interviews, participatory research methodologies, and technical writing in developing-country contexts, paired with demonstrated understanding of grassroots development practice.

Customer concentration is narrow and specialized. The Executive Office of the President Inter-American Foundation accounts for 88% of awards (9 awards, $1.2 million combined potential value), with the Department of the Treasury Bureau of the Fiscal Service holding the remaining 6 awards. Place of performance on recent awards is listed as Washington, DC, despite the vendor's Bolivia headquarters and the substantive work location in La Paz. The vendor holds a seat on an Indefinite Delivery Contract (TPD01C0032) carrying 11 task orders and $476 thousand in combined potential value. Award frequency is sparse — one award in 2026, two in 2024, one in 2020, spanning a first-award date of July 15, 2001 — with only one award (combined potential value $91 thousand) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. Combined obligated dollars across all 17 awards total $608 thousand against $1.2 million in combined potential value.
