On Oct. 12, Tetra Tech announced that USAID awarded it a four-year, $19.5 million contract to identify and support companies in countries throughout sub-Saharan Africa that provide food and agricultural products. Tetra Tech will provide customized technical assistance to these companies to increase food production through sustainable water and energy usage.
“Tetra Tech has supported USAID’s energy reform programs — including utility modernization and deployment of advanced off-grid power solutions — in sub-Saharan Africa for more than 30 years,” Dan Batrack, Tetra Tech’s chief executive, said in the Oct. 12 announcement.
On Oct. 19, the company announced it had received another USAID award, this one a five-year, $25 million contract to support the government of Tanzania in expanding and sustaining the delivery and management of water, sanitation and hygiene services in urban and rural settings. Under the program, Tetra Tech’s team of water and sanitation experts will provide engineering and technical advisory services to strengthen Tanzania’s capacity to manage water resources infrastructure and mitigate the impacts of climate change.
Just days earlier, on Oct. 13, Tetra Tech announced it has been awarded a five-year, $22.4 million task order under a previously awarded $169 million contract from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which is part of the Labor Department. Tetra Tech was one of several companies that won the right to participate in that contract.
In typical multiple-award contracts, the companies selected are placed on call for specific work or task orders during the length of the contract. The total amount of work awarded to each of the selected companies cannot exceed the ceiling amount, which in this case is $169 million. But the amount of work awarded to each company can vary widely.
