USAID has awarded Panagora Group a prime contract for the seven-year, $800M USAID Central America Regional Support Services (CARSS) Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ). The CARSS IDIQ will provide USAID’s regional and bilateral programs in Latin America and the Caribbean with a responsive and agile mechanism to address economic, governance, climate, and health challenges, and to strengthen local capacity.  

The CARSS IDIQ has the following objectives:
