Top
USAID contractors for 2016
The United States Agency
for International Development obligated contract funding
reached $4.68 billion in 2016, decreasing by $200 million from the previous
year. The modest decline for 2016 follows a $1 billion surge for contract spending from 2014
to 2015.
Chemonics reclaimed its position as the
top contractor for USAID in 2016, winning nearly double the contract funding
from 2015. The global development consulting firm garnered over $1 billion worth
of USAID financing last year, following the award of a $9.5 billion indefinite delivery,
indefinite quantity contract, or IDIQ, in 2015.
Tetra Tech and DAI, meanwhile, were awarded the second and
third-highest USAID contract funding, respectively, combining for over $800
million in obligated funding.
Together, these top three recipients comprise 39
percent of all USAID obligated contract funding in 2016.
Five organizations managed
to break into the top 20 awardees in 2016.
Remote Medicine, which won $10
million in contracts in 2015, received $67 million last year. International
Business & Technical Consultants doubled their contract funding from $21 million
in 2015 to $42 million. Nathan Associates received $40 million — up by $11
million from the previous year.
Two of the list’s new
entrants ranked within the top 10 organizations, each obtaining over $100
million more than their previous contract funding.
Creative Associates
International, which received $43 million in 2015, attracted $146 million last
year.
Similarly, the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority received $122 million in
2016 versus $17 million in 2015, as it secured a five-year contract to procure,
warehouse and distribute drugs and medical equipment for public hospitals
across Kenya. KEMSA is the only non-U.S. organization to make it into the top
20.
