Organisation For Economic Cooperation And Development

Organisation For Economic Cooperation And Development, operating as OECD from its Washington, DC office, is an international non-profit organization that receives federal contract purchase orders and federal grant awards as a prime recipient—not a subcontractor—paying annual membership dues for U.S. participation in international standardization forums, certification schemes, and policy research initiatives across 26 distinct federal agencies. OECD competes entirely in full-and-open procurements with no set-aside designations; all 92 awards in the source data are prime transactions.

OECD's federal footprint centers on four concrete service lines: international seed regulatory memberships (Forest Seed and Plant Scheme annual dues paid to USDA Forest Service and USDA Livestock Poultry and Seed Program); space policy forums (OECD Space Forum and OECD Forum on Space Economics membership for NASA); international affairs and economic policy research; and development-focused technical assistance. Representative awards include a $150 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order from NASA Shared Services Center for OECD Space Forum membership through September 2025, recurring USDA Forest Service annual dues contracts ranging from $32,612 to $42,027 for Forest Seed and Plant Scheme participation, a $97,568 purchase order from USDA's Livestock Poultry and Seed Program for Seed Regulatory & Testing Division assessment dues, and a $137,606 USAID grant (CFDA 98.001, Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas) awarded December 2024 for assessment of Peru's public procurement risk management capacity, completing October 2025.

Customer concentration by award count is dispersed: the Department of Army Headquarters West Point Military Academy leads at 17 awards and $161 thousand combined potential value, followed by USDA Forest Service Southern Region at 12 awards and $358 thousand, and NASA Shared Services Center at 8 awards and $1.1 million. By potential value, NASA Shared Services Center dominates at $1.1 million across 8 awards, with USDA entities (Agricultural Marketing Service and Forest Service) collectively anchoring $732 thousand across 19 awards. The top five customers account for 52% of awards but only 73% of combined potential value, indicating that OECD's larger contracts are concentrated at NASA while smaller routine dues and membership payments are dispersed across USDA regional offices and other agencies.

Activity has remained sparse and episodic: two awards in 2022, three in 2023, four in 2024, three in 2025, and one in 2026 (the most recent, September 23, 2026). Combined potential value across all 92 awards stands at $3.4 million, though combined dollars obligated across all awards total $13.3 million—indicating that actual invoiced performance substantially exceeds contract ceilings, consistent with OECD's structure as a recurring dues payer subject to annual assessment adjustments. Only two awards reach completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying $165 thousand in combined potential value. OECD is a child entity of Organis Cooperation Developp Economique (Paris, France), registered as a parent international non-profit organization, which also holds federal grant prime-recipient status. The vendor's top category codes reflect this scope: International Affairs (21 awards), Support Activities for Forestry (12), Professional Organizations (12), and Education/Training—Tuition/Registration/Membership Fees (24, the largest PSC category).
