"One contract to provide in-country logistics services actually directs firms to budget just 25 percent of the total contract value for any in-country supply chain providers; the winning government contractor can take the rest....Another technology-focused contract restricts eligibility to apply to pre-approved government vendors, precluding the world’s best tech firms from even submitting a bid...Seventy-three percent of firms that have tried to work with USAID’s largest contractors report that big aid contractors routinely cut them out of promised work...Worse, the vast majority of this $17 billion taxpayer-funded project will pay contractors to perform activities instead of deliver results."
