During FY 2020, USAID reported a total of 2,043 service contract actions in all product service codes (PSC) with a total obligation value of $21,050,189,617. A detailed description of each service can be found in Table 1: PSC Category Descriptions for Contract Actions Analyzed.
In accordance with guidelines from the OFPP, this analysis focuses on contract actions over $150,000 in “special interest function (SIFs)” PSCs. As required by OMB’s Memorandum regarding Service Contract Inventories, dated December 19, 2011, USAID selected Product Service Codes that have the largest percentage of obligations for services and a large cadre of contract actions for evaluation. Additionally, the selected PSCs cover critical technical functions in USAID.
In FY 2020, USAID had a total of 1,240 contract actions with an individual obligation greater than $150,000 in the six SIFs categories. The total value of these contract actions was $17,286,626,753, including all actions for any active contract in FY 2020 in these categories. For FY 2020, the PSCs with the largest contract actions include:
- R408-Support-Professional: Program Management/Support Services;
- R410-Support-Professional: Program Evaluation/Review/Development;
- R425-Support-Professional: Engineering/Technical;
- R497-Support-Professional: Personal Service Contracts; and,
- R499-Support-Professional: Other;
- R707-Support-Management: Contract/Procurement/Acquisition Support.
Table 2 summarizes the inventory subset that was analyzed. The percentages reported in this table are the percentages of the Agency’s total service contract inventory, which includes all PSCs. Personal service codes R408-Support-Professional: Program Management/Support Services; R425-Support-Professional: Engineering/Technical; and, R499-Support-Professional account for the largest percentages of obligation-value during the reporting period. The cumulative value of service contract actions in these three PSCs was $16,325,559,378 representing 94 percent of the six SIFs categories. Like the special interest functions, each contract action had a minimum value above $150,000.
The Agency assessed the largest contract actions, a total of six SIFs, with a total of 1,240 contract actions. The combined award value total was $17,286,626,753. This subset of contracts represents 62 percent of the Agency’s total service-contract inventory, and 82 percent of the obligation value.
