Despite a slight drop in the number and value of business opportunities with the U.S. Agency for International Development from the previous quarter, the forecast for Q3 2021 continues to show year-on-year growth thanks to a continued focus on health programs. A total of 263 opportunities worth $32.7 billion are listed in the Q3 2021 forecast, a 9% increase from Q3 2020.
Previously forecast coordinated procurement opportunities supporting the Bureau for Global Health’s work over the next decade — including a procurement service agent for HIV valued at $4.6 billion — remain the largest valued opportunities driving the record values. But new opportunities and trends are still emerging in the forecast data.
In global health, the focus is on global initiatives, with new projects including a $500 million private sector health program.
