Universidad Del Pacifico

Universidad Del Pacifico is a Peruvian private university and non-profit educational institution registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) since 2016, with registration valid through May 2025. Located in Independencia, Peru, the university primarily engages with U.S. federal agencies by providing specialized research, training, and consulting services focused on entrepreneurship, social development, and policy analysis. The institution has demonstrated a robust capacity to deliver complex, targeted programs that address social and economic challenges, particularly for underserved populations in Peru.

Through federal contract sub-awards, primarily with DAI Global LLC, Universidad Del Pacifico has executed specialized technical services in environmental management and social development. These sub-contract awards have included developing environmental and social safeguards strategies, designing capacity-building programs on environmental crimes, and conducting diagnostic analyses of institutional capabilities in areas like illegal mining, illegal logging, and wildlife trafficking. The sub-contract work has been primarily focused on technical research, strategy development, and institutional capacity assessment in environmental and social domains, with no specific set-aside designations noted in the available contract records.

The university's federal grant awards are predominantly from the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs, with a strong emphasis on women's entrepreneurship and economic empowerment programs. Grant projects have included designing and implementing the Academy for Women Entrepreneurs, conducting business development training courses for women entrepreneurs in multiple Peruvian regions, organizing workshops on digital transformation, leadership development, and providing specialized training for entrepreneurs from vulnerable backgrounds. These grants typically involve comprehensive training modules, mentoring sessions, networking opportunities, and potential seed funding for participants, with project scopes ranging from localized workshops to nation-wide entrepreneurship initiatives targeting specific demographic groups like LGBTQI+ business owners and women from provincial cities.
