Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Facilitation

The contract seeks to establish public-private partnerships in Vietnam by identifying and collaborating with local tech firms, startups, and universities to co-host events, supply industry mentors, or financially support program elements that advance U.S. strategic objectives in the region. The initiative aims to strengthen bilateral ties through targeted engagement with Vietnam’s innovation ecosystem, leveraging local expertise and resources to amplify the impact of U.S. engagement efforts. Participation is expected to involve meaningful, sustained collaboration rather than one-off engagements, with an emphasis on creating mutually beneficial relationships that foster long-term capacity building and technological advancement. The opportunity is structured as a subcontract under the U.S. Mission to Vietnam, part of the Department of State, and falls under the NAICS code 541611 for management consulting services. Proposals must be submitted by August 2, 2026, following a posting date of July 7, 2026. While no specific set-aside provisions or place of performance details are provided, the work is inherently tied to activities within Vietnam, requiring proposers to demonstrate a clear understanding of the local private sector landscape and the ability to build trust and alignment with Vietnamese institutions. Success will depend on the applicant’s capacity to facilitate authentic partnerships that reflect U.S. strategic priorities while respecting Vietnamese autonomy and institutional norms.
