Palladium International LLC

Palladium International LLC, headquartered in Washington, D.C., delivers international development, technical assistance, capacity building, and program implementation services to the U.S. federal government, operating primarily as a prime contractor (73% of recent awards) across USAID and Department of Navy platforms, competing full-and-open with no set-aside designations. The vendor is a for-profit limited liability company and subsidiary of Palladium Group Holdings, LLC, a parent entity that also owns Futures Group Global Outreach, Inc., a nonprofit subsidiary.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to USAID. The top five funding entities account for 60% of all awards by count but 99% of combined potential value, driven by two outsized relationships: the Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command (2 awards, $66.4 billion combined potential value) anchored by the Worldwide Expeditionary Multiple Award Contract TITUS (WEXMAC TITUS), and the USAID Bureau for Management Office of the Assistant Administrator (24 awards, $8.21 billion combined potential value). USAID agencies collectively fund the majority of Palladium's prime work across the Bureau for Global Health (26 awards, $500 million), regional missions in Nigeria, Kenya, Mexico, and Bangladesh, and other geographic offices. The Navy exposure represents a strategic foothold in expeditionary logistics and life support services—the $66.4 billion WEXMAC TITUS ceiling reflects a January 2025 expansion of Palladium's Region 27 contract maximum from $10 billion to $55 billion, with three recent delivery orders totaling $195 thousand for base operations, educational support equipment, and life support services in Indonesia and Tonga.

Palladium's vehicle position centers on large USAID indefinite-delivery platforms and the Navy IDIQ. Active vehicles include the OASIS+ Unrestricted multiple-award contract (awarded December 2024 through GSA, ceiling uncapped), the $5 billion Support Which Implements Fast Transition 6 (SWIFT 6) IDIQ for USAID's Office of Transition Initiatives (7 task orders awarded August 2024), the $800 million USAID Central America Regional Support Services (CARSS) single-award IDC (2 task orders), the $51.58 million USAID Colombia Sustainable Agriculture IDIQ (single award), and several agency-specific delivery vehicles. Representative recent prime work includes a $48.8 million cost-plus-award-fee definitive contract (awarded December 2024, completion February 2025) for the USAID Kenya Private Sector Activity focused on agricultural processing and health sector expansion; a $33.99 million cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive contract (July 2024, completion June 2029) for the FUTURE Bangladesh Inclusive Access to Finance Activity; a $29 million cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive contract (September 2022, completion September 2027) for the SURGES activity in Southern Mexico; and a $49 million cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order under SWIFT 5 (April 2023, completion March 2025) to establish a flexible response mechanism supporting democracy and stability initiatives in Ecuador.

Activity trajectory shows volatility: six awards in 2022, twenty-six in 2023 (driven by grant awards), sixteen in 2024, seven in 2025, and one in 2026 through February. Eleven awards (combined potential value $47.9 million) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and present recompete exposure. SCI-reportable federal services invoicing totaled $129.7 million in FY2022 and $127 million in FY2024 (FY2023 data not available in the source), representing roughly 489–510 FTEs deployed on prime service contracts across both fiscal years. Government-paid hourly rates for SCI-reportable work span a wide spectrum—median around $98.49/hr, with 10th percentile at $59.64/hr and 90th percentile at $200.80/hr—reflecting a diverse labor portfolio from training specialists and program associates through senior project managers and managing partners. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed roughly 8% of total contractor hours on average, with 95 named subcontractors reported across the portfolio, indicating Palladium builds most of its delivery in-house while managing targeted sub engagement.

In its subcontractor role, Palladium delivers evaluation, research, and learning support under University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill on the Global Health Program Evaluation, Analysis and Learning (GH PEARL) cooperative agreement, health systems strengthening under International Youth Foundation on PROPEL Health initiatives, logistics and base operations support to Vectrus Systems on LOGCAP V in the Philippines, and HIV financing evidence generation to Avenir Health for Development. Palladium also operates as a sub-recipient on federal grants, with sub-awards flowing through Pact, Inc., and multiple USAID missions for maternal and child health, malaria services, and sustainable agriculture programming across Mozambique, Niger, Malawi, and Papua New Guinea.

The vendor's federal grant footprint spans USAID (CFDA 98.001, Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas) as prime recipient on multiple cooperative agreements and project grants. Named grant programs include the Market-Based Approaches for Sustainable Livelihoods activity in Mozambique's Cabo Delgado Province (recipient, October 2024 through September 2027, 175,620 beneficiaries); the Advancing Health and Malaria Services Activity in Niger (recipient, June 2023 through June 2028); the Growth Poles agriculture-led activity in Malawi (recipient, April 2023 through April 2028); Partnerships for Economic Growth in North Macedonia (recipient, January 2023 through July 2025); PROPEL Health initiatives supporting health-system financing and policy (recipient, September 2022 through September 2027); Papua New Guinea Sustainable Landscapes (recipient, September 2022 through August 2027); and the MOMENTUM maternal and child health activity in Malawi (recipient, July 2022 through July 2027).

Palladium competes across a broad NAICS portfolio, with 37 awards clustered under "All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services," and secondary concentration in "Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services" (9 awards), "Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services" (7 awards), and logistics consulting (4 awards). PSC codes track similarly, with "Support–Professional: Other" leading (24 awards), followed by program management support (10 awards), engineering and technical support (10 awards), and logistics and acquisition support (3 awards each). GSA Schedule labor rates span $66.65/hr through $449.14/hr across 35 categories, ranging from training specialists and finance specialists through senior project managers and managing partners, with education requirements from bachelor's to master's level and no security-cleared positions offered. Combined potential value across all 124 recent awards stands at $79.11 billion, with $2.89 billion obligated (4% draw-down), reflecting the early-stage maturity of large IDIQ vehicles and the WEXMAC TITUS expansion.
