About the company
IRO Institute For The Development Of Education Division, an international nonprofit organization headquartered in Zagreb, Croatia, operates as a prime recipient of federal grants from the U.S. Department of State, delivering educational advising and Education USA Center support services exclusively to Croatian students and institutions. The vendor holds no federal contracts and no contract vehicle positions; its federal footprint consists entirely of grant awards from two State Department bureaus.
IRO's customer base is split evenly between the Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (8 awards) and the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs (8 awards), with a third stream of 6 awards from the Bureau of Public Affairs — collectively covering 100% of recent awards. The combined dollars obligated across all 22 awards total $333 thousand, reflecting the modest scale and narrow geographic scope of the work. All awards are prime grants; IRO has no sub-award history.
The work centers on two recurring activities. The first is direct operational support to the Croatian Education USA Center — annual operations funding, educational advising on U.S. study opportunities for Croatian students, and center sustainment — represented by awards dated October 1, 2022; October 1, 2023; October 1, 2024; and October 1, 2025, each carrying ultimate completion dates one year out. The second is complementary advising and student outreach, exemplified by a grant awarded October 1, 2026 with ultimate completion September 30, 2027. All grants are project grants, a modal assistance type for educational exchange and advising work under the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. Recent awards carry compliance amendments tied to Executive Order 14173 on merit-based opportunity, reflecting current State Department implementation priorities.
Activity is minimal and flat: one or two awards per year across the 2022–2026 window, with only one award completing inside the next twenty-four-month recompete window. The vendor's federal footprint is specialized and geographically bounded — Educational USA advising and center operations in Croatia only — with no diversification across agencies, programs, or countries, and no contract-side exposure to civilian or defense customers. IRO functions as a State Department educational exchange grantee rather than a federal service provider or contractor.
