Kazakhstan Amcorners Network, OO

Kazakhstan Amcorners Network, OO, a non-profit international organization headquartered in Astana, Kazakhstan, operates American Corners cultural and information centers throughout Kazakhstan as a federal grant recipient, delivering public diplomacy, educational programming, and skills-building services exclusively to the U.S. Department of State.

The organization's footprint is narrowly concentrated within the State Department. All twenty recent awards are grants (Cooperative Agreements and Project Grants) split evenly between the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (10 awards) and the Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs (10 awards, $90 thousand in combined potential value). The two bureaus anchor 100% of the vendor's federal customer base; no other agencies appear in the source data. This dual-bureau split reflects the dual mission — the Educational and Cultural Affairs bureau funds American Spaces network operations, programming, and coordinator training, while the South and Central Asian Affairs bureau funds alumni outreach, public diplomacy campaigns such as Freedom250, and initiative-specific work.

Concrete representative work includes a $128,070 Cooperative Agreement under the ECA - American Spaces program (CFDA 19.441) awarded October 1, 2025, to support operations and strategic programming across eight American Spaces locations in Kazakhstan through September 30, 2026, including English language instruction, STEM/STEAM education, media literacy, and cultural heritage preservation. A $194,970 Cooperative Agreement under the same vehicle, awarded October 2, 2023, funded nationwide skills-building programs and technology infrastructure supporting nine American Corners. Most recently, on August 5, 2026, the Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs awarded a $100,000 Cooperative Agreement under the Public Diplomacy Programs vehicle (CFDA 19.040) to raise awareness of the Freedom250 campaign by engaging digital content creators across Kazakhstan. The organization also holds a $89,700 firm fixed-price definitive contract, awarded September 30, 2025, from the Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs for advisory consulting services to an alumni advisory board, running through September 29, 2026.

Activity has been episodic — four awards in 2022, two in 2023, three in 2024, two in 2025, and one in 2026. The source reports $1.9 million in combined dollars obligated across all awards, against $90 thousand in combined potential value; this 2164% ratio reflects the gap between contract ceiling values and actual cumulative invoicing over multiple award cycles. Only one award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, limiting near-term recompete exposure. The organization operates as a prime recipient across all federal grant activity, with no subcontract or sub-recipient role in the source data.
