New opportunities aimed at simplifying and streamlining the U.S. Agency for International Development procurement over the next decade have resulted in a massive spike in the value of forecast business opportunities with the agency.
The data for Q3 2020 lists 225 forecast opportunities worth $30.1 billion — a 128% increase in the value of opportunities forecast in Q2. This is despite a 7% decline in the number of opportunities.
Health programs, in particular, have benefited from the new opportunities, supporting the agency in flexibly responding to changing health needs, once again shifting to the focus of USAID’s development activities on global health.
