Abebe Berrou Ayane

Abebe Berrou Ayane, doing business as Gisa Global Inspection Survey Agency, is a for-profit sole proprietorship based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, specializing in providing survey, inspection, and logistics support services for U.S. government food donation programs. Registered in SAM.gov since June 10, 2011, with registration valid through January 24, 2026, the company has established itself as a critical partner in facilitating international food assistance efforts. While specific background details about the company's founding or leadership are not provided, Gisa Global has consistently demonstrated expertise in monitoring and supporting the distribution of U.S. agricultural commodities in Ethiopia.

Gisa Global Inspection Survey Agency has been awarded numerous federal contract delivery orders primarily from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), specifically the Farm Service Agency Kansas City Commodity Office and Agricultural Marketing Service. These contracts, consistently valued between $950 and $18,860, support the USDA's Food for Peace program by providing comprehensive inspection and survey services for food aid shipments. The services include inland and international shipment inspections, bulk and containerized commodity surveys, tallying and bagging of bulk donations, and assessments of transportation methods. Notably, none of these contract awards have been designated with set-aside classifications, indicating that Gisa Global competes for these contracts based on its specialized local expertise and performance capabilities.

Gisa Global holds two significant Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDVs) with the USDA. The first, awarded by the Agricultural Marketing Service on December 3, 2020, is a single-award IDC valued up to $3 million, valid through September 30, 2025, for survey services of containerized, bulk, and breakbulk commodity shipments. The second IDV, issued by the Farm Service Agency Kansas City Commodity Office on November 18, 2020, is valued at $1 million and was originally set to conclude on November 30, 2020. These IDVs enable the USDA to procure Gisa Global's survey and inspection services for international food assistance programs, particularly those operating under Title II of the Agriculture Act, which supports emergency and development assistance initiatives like Food for Peace.
