Contracting officer information and contact details
The U.S. International Development Finance Corporation intends to award a one-year sole source purchase order to the API Innovation Center for specialized technical and analytical support. The objective is to identify and assess vulnerabilities within pharmaceutical and health-sector supply chains to uncover investment and resilience opportunities. The selected contractor will be responsible for producing national fragility analyses, integrating complex datasets regarding manufacturing and geopolitics, and preparing 20 to 30 drug-specific supply chain reports focusing on active pharmaceutical ingredients and upstream dependencies.
This procurement action is being conducted under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b). While the government intends to negotiate with a single source, interested vendors may submit responses to the contracting officer by August 31, 2026, at 4:30pm Eastern Time. The government will use these responses to determine whether to proceed with a sole source award or transition to a competitive procurement process.

The U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC), through its Office of Development Policy, is procuring an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for environmental and social technical assistance to support its Risk Management Team across debt, equity, political risk insurance, and financial intermediary transactions. The contract will provide on-demand advisory services from a qualified consulting firm, with a five-year ordering period beginning June 15, 2026, and extending to May 14, 2031. The total estimated value is $223,128, based on a base year and four option years, with an annual ceiling of $2 million per task order. Labor services include Senior Environmental and Social Specialists, Environmental and Social Specialists, and Subject Matter Experts, alongside travel at $6,198 per trip. The contract is unrestricted, with no small business set-aside, and is awarded on a best value basis using a trade-off approach that evaluates technical approach, past performance, and price, with technical merit carrying the highest weight. Proposals are due by June 4, 2026, and must be submitted electronically via email to designated DFC points of contact, limited to 2 pages for contract documents and 1 page for the price narrative.
Performance is primarily remote, with in-person requirements defined on a task-by-task basis. Contractors must comply with DFC’s Environmental and Social Policy and Procedures, IFC Performance Standards, Section 508 accessibility requirements, and IT security policies including non-disclosure agreements and ethics training. All deliverables, including reports, data, and process documentation, are government property and must be submitted in English with proper markings including contract number, task order, and DFC POC. Invoicing must be done exclusively through the U.S. Treasury’s Invoice Processing Platform, and WAWF is not used. Key personnel requirements include an IDIQ Manager as the single mandatory point of contact, while subcontractor flow-downs must include confidentiality provisions. Organizational conflicts of interest are managed at the task order level with strict firewalls preventing dual service to the same client. The contractor must also comply with prohibitions on procurement from Kaspersky Lab and restricted telecommunications vendors. Security clearances are not mandated at the IDIQ level but will be determined by individual task orders. The contract incorporates numerous FAR clauses covering safeguards, anti-kickback provisions, whistleblower rights, unique entity identifiers, and cybersecurity standards, all aligned with commercial service provisions

The Office of Acquisition is seeking licensed brokerage firms to facilitate the sales, trading, and settlement of publicly traded securities, such as equities, on behalf of the DFC. This open notice remains active for twelve months, during which time multiple agreements may be established based on agency priorities and capital planning strategies. While the DFC is seeking global capabilities, there is a strong preference for firms experienced in emerging markets, with immediate needs identified in India, Brazil, and Mexico. Currently, regional pools for North America, Europe, South America, Africa, Central America, and Australia are open for submissions.
Interested entities must submit detailed proposals covering their service offerings, fee structures for up to five years, regional presence, and experience with institutional investors such as Multilateral Development Banks or Sovereign Wealth Funds. Submissions will be catalogued in an interested parties list, and selections for specific regional needs will be made on a best value basis. All successful contractors must be registered in SAM.gov prior to entering into an agreement. Costs associated with the submission process, meetings, and registration are not allowable for reimbursement.

The U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) is seeking a global custodian to hold and administer a wide range of securities acquired through its investment activities, including debt instruments, equity securities such as stocks and warrants, and privately placed or over-the-counter instruments, as DFC is prohibited from maintaining direct accounts with financial market infrastructure entities. The selected vendor must provide comprehensive custodial services worldwide, including secure asset holding, transaction settlement, coordination with brokers and clearinghouses, fund transfers to the U.S. Treasury, and robust support for financial reporting and regulatory compliance across multiple jurisdictions. The custodian must establish efficient system interfaces to integrate with DFC’s operations and ensure strict adherence to applicable tax and legal regimes. Performance will occur at the custodian’s financial institution, with the potential for a five-year Blanket Purchase Agreement or a one-year base contract with four one-year option periods, starting the day after award.
Offerors must detail their global custody structure—whether through direct presence, partnerships with local custodians, or a hybrid model—and disclose jurisdictions where they do not provide direct services, along with rationales. They must list all emerging markets in which they operate and specify their footprint in key countries like India, Mexico, Australia, and Brazil. The custodian must confirm their capacity to hold all requested security types and provide a full suite of services such as custody, accounting, foreign exchange, liquidity management, reporting, and trust administration. Pricing must be clearly outlined as either fixed or tiered based on asset type and size, with full transparency on fee structures. Demonstrated experience serving development banks, public pension funds, or sovereign wealth funds within the last three years is required, with priority given to active contracts. The vendor must specify the typical setup timeline for a global account and provide examples of KYC diligence requirements. The contract incorporates numerous FAR clauses mandating ethical conduct, whistleblower protections, anti-trafficking measures, equal pay and sick leave compliance, cybersecurity safeguards, and prohibitions on technology from banned entities such as ByteDance and Kaspersky. Offerors must also certify their small business status, including HUBZone eligibility, and comply with DEI-related anti-discrimination requirements while furnishing UEI and CAGE codes for all ownership tiers. Proposals are due by May 18, 2026, and must be submitted via email with separate technical and pricing documents, evaluated on technical capability, responsiveness to requirements, and price, under a best-value trade-off approach rather than lowest-price technically acceptable.
