USAID Terminated Awards Staffing Assignments

Posted on by

Dear USAID Implementing Partners (IPs),

As a follow-on from our last Industry Liaison guidance “USAID Operations Post-September 2, 2025” on Friday, September 5, 2025, USAID Contracting/Agreement Officers (CO/AOs) will be assigned to all USAID terminated awards. Each IP will be assigned one CO/AO for all of your organization’s terminated awards.

The CO/AOs in the Office of Acquisition and Assistance (OAA) will begin reaching out next week. To facilitate communication between USAID and your organization, CO/AOs will be requesting a single point of contact. Please allow these CO/AOs time to reach out to you. 

Please email IndustryLiaison@usaid.gov for any questions you may have about this notice, and we will respond as quickly as we are able.  USAID Industry Liaison

Responsible Closeout of USAID Terminated and Expired Programs

Posted on by
July 29, 2025

Dear USAID Implementing Partners (IPs), Effective September 2, 2025, USAID headquarters will take over the management and handling of all terminations for all award types to successfully implement a responsible closeout. Awards will be assigned to dedicated Acquisition and Assistance teams which will focus on completing actions related to award termination and closeout.  Moving forward, IPs should submit termination settlement proposals, final cost and closeout submissions, and other related documents/correspondence to USAID via dedicated mailboxes we have established.

When you are submitting your documents, make sure to include the corresponding award number.

Please submit your information based on the name of your organization to the corresponding inboxes below.
Partners that have a name starting with a numeral are to use the T-Z mailbox.  For all IPs with names from A-C: terminationsettlements_a-c@usaid.gov
For all IPs with names from D-H: terminationsettlements_d-h@usaid.gov
For all IPs with names from I-M: terminationsettlements_i-m@usaid.gov
For all IPs with names from N-S: terminationsettlements_n-s@usaid.gov
For all IPs with names from T-Z and Numerals:
terminationsettlements_t-z@usaid.gov

Each inbox will be monitored by a dedicated team of OAA individuals who are responsible for responding to IPs and filing the documents appropriately for the team that takes over after September 2nd.  As a reminder, IPs must still submit appeals under assistance awards of final Agreement Officer (AO) decisions to compliance@usaid.gov. USAID will continue to review and approve payments in accordance with the relevant regulations and the terms and conditions of the award. 

If the terminated award included an overseas (Mission) payment office, effective July 1, 2025, the payment office is now EIW@usaid.gov.  If the terminated award included the payment office of ei@usaid.gov or relied on a letter of credit, there is no change to the payment office. Thank you again for your assistance and cooperation during this period of transition. We will continue to provide communications as we move forward.  

Please continue to email IndustryLiaison@usaid.gov for any questions you may have about this notice.

USAID Launches New Window of $50 Million for EDGE Fund to Boost Innovation through Private Sector Partnerships

Posted on by

Press Release

USAID announced a new $50 million round of funding for the USAID’s EDGE Fund. The EDGE Fund enables USAID Missions worldwide to leverage private sector expertise, networks and supply chains to drive sustainable and scalable solutions to global challenges.  

Recognizing that the needs faced by communities around the globe are simply too large for governments and donors to tackle alone, USAID engages a wide range of partners in its work, most notably the private sector. The EDGE Fund supports the most catalytic types of private sector partnerships in which there is significant alignment between the commercial interests of our private sector partners, the development objectives of the Agency, and development needs of local populations, ensuring continued private sector investment into targeted communities well into the future.

Through prior rounds of EDGE funding, USAID is investing $100 million and is leveraging over $280 million from the private sector to implement solutions that could unlock upwards of $2 billion in mobilized investments for sustainable development. Through collaborations with over 80 private sector partners, the EDGE Fund is advancing market-led solutions that address conflict, displacement, and food insecurity; accelerate inclusive economic growth; tackle the climate crisis; and combat political repression and corruption.   

This new $50 million third round of funding, brings total USAID investment through the EDGE Fund to $150 million.

Prospective partners can submit Expressions of Interest on the EDGE Fund page.
