FAQ
A cooperative contract is an agreement between a local, state, regional, or federal government and businesses.
Cooperative contracts — also known as cooperative procurements or cooperative agreements — are agreements between the government and businesses, created in order to lower the costs of procuring goods or services that multiple entities commonly need.
Cooperative agreements serves as an official framework for exploring partnership activities and identify future endeavors. If a specific collaborative project is identified between the two institutions, an addendum or additional agreement must be developed to outline the details of the project.
A cooperative agreement is a hybrid between a contract and a grant. While its purpose is typically similar to a grant in that it focuses on increased scientific knowledge, the sponsor takes a more active role as a partner to the research, rather than just a funder.
With contracts, USAID purchases goods and services from a contractor to implement an Activity as directed by the Agency. Contracts are announced through Requests for Proposals (RFPs). With grants and cooperative agreements, the Agency provides funds to a recipient for a public good and has limited direct involvement.
