Nearly a dozen companies will work with the agency on standing up enterprise-level IT capabilities.
A federal agency responsible for investing in development projects in lower and middle-income countries has awarded 15 companies positions on a potential $300 million IT services contract vehicle.
The U.S. International Development Finance Corporation is seeking to acquire end-to-end IT operations and maintenance support in order to deliver enterprise-level capabilities throughout the agency.
DFC received 43 proposals and announced these winners Thursday:
- AccelGov
- Aderas
- AgilityCQS
- Creative Solutions Consulting
- Creoal
- Clear Vantage Point Solutions
- ExpediteInfoTech
- Iron Bow Technologies
- MSM Technology

Contracting documents available on GovTribe explain how DFC plans to break up the work across four groups: operations, application development, cybersecurity and program management office support services.
DFC came to fruition in the winter of 2019 through the merger of the Overseas Private Investment Corporation with the Development Credit Authority of the U.S. Agency for International Development.
DFC provides loans, loan guarantees, direct equity investment and political risk insurance for private-sector led development projects, feasibility studies and technical assistance efforts. The agency's sectors of focus include energy, healthcare, critical infrastructure and technology.
