Planet Partnerships LLC

Planet Partnerships LLC, a small business based in Washington, DC, delivers international development program management, infrastructure advisory, and financial consulting services to U.S. government agencies focused on overseas development and trade — operating predominantly as a subcontractor (74% of recent awards) to larger development primes and as a minor prime on single-award and blanket-purchase vehicles with development agencies.

Planet Partnerships operates as a for-profit limited liability company with a named subsidiary, Planet Collaboration, a small business joint venture. The vendor's award portfolio centers on international development and infrastructure work, anchored by a $4.1 million time-and-materials contract with the Millennium Challenge Corporation for multi-country late-stage design and implementation due diligence support (awarded September 2024, completion September 2027) and a $12 million GSA Multiple Award Schedule vehicle (awarded June 2022, running through June 2027) offering 20 labor categories spanning project coordinators, analysts, financial specialists, and subject matter experts at rates from $83.63 to $326.88 per hour, with education requirements from bachelor's to master's degree and no security-cleared positions. Recent prime work also includes a $347,190 definitive contract with the United States Trade and Development Agency for regional Africa digital infrastructure consulting services (awarded July 2026, completion July 2028).

The vendor's customer concentration reflects its international development focus. The top five customer agencies by award count (covering 63% of awards) include three USAID regional missions — USAID Zambia and USAID Mozambique — alongside the parent USAID, the International Development Finance Corporation (2 awards, $748 thousand combined potential value), and the United States Trade and Development Agency. However, the GSA Federal Acquisition Service dominates the potential-value ranking at $12 million, driven by the Multiple Award Schedule platform; the Millennium Challenge Corporation anchors $4.1 million. The vendor is positioned on the Multiple Award Schedule (3 task orders, $872 thousand combined potential value), the Water and Development II IDIQ, Global Architecture Engineer Services III, and One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services vehicles.

Planet Partnerships' activity has accelerated in 2024 — eleven awards that year, up from four in 2023 and three in 2022 — with a combined potential value of $17.1 million across all nineteen awards. Two awards (combined potential value $4.4 million) face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and represent recompete exposure. The Service Contract Inventory dataset captures only 4 subcontract records above the $150,000 threshold, showing 2.4 FTEs in FY2024 and 0.6 FTEs in FY2025; SCI is a partial view of the vendor's federal services work and does not reflect total enterprise revenue.

As a subcontractor, Planet Partnerships delivers engineering advisory, program management, financial analysis, and technical assistance on international development projects. Named prime contractors include Research Triangle Institute International (four sub awards spanning USAID water, sanitation, and hygiene projects in Zambia and Mozambique), DAI Global LLC (three sub awards for private sector engagement and Bangladesh inland waterways infrastructure support), Tetra Tech Inc. (WASH-FIN 2 technical assistance), and CDM International Inc. (water infrastructure bidding support). The subcontract work reflects the vendor's operational footprint in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, with specific recent activity supporting USAID water and sanitation expansion and sanitation projects in Mozambique, Bangladesh inland waterways infrastructure, and environmental mitigation initiatives. One sub-grant award is recorded under Population Services International for USAID Mozambique Small Town Sanitation support. The vendor does not compete under set-aside categories; recent prime awards use total small business designations or full-and-open vehicles (GSA MAS, DFC BPA).
