Document Introduction

The core content of this report is a detailed list catalog, disclosed by Trump, regarding the large-scale cancellation of issued contracts by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in early 2025. This list systematically records over 230 terminated contracts, covering "Contract Termination Notices" issued from January 21 to February 12, 2025. Presented in the form of a raw data table, each entry includes the termination date, the USAID-assigned contract number, and the corresponding supplier name, providing precise primary source material for analyzing the scope, objectives, and potential impact of this policy action.

The list shows that the contract termination actions were highly concentrated in a few key areas and contractor groups. The most prominent category consists of projects directly related to "election support" and "democracy promotion," with the "Consortium for Elections & Political Process Strengthening" appearing as a supplier with extremely high frequency, involving multiple contracts with different numbers. Simultaneously, contracts for several well-known international development consulting firms and non-governmental organizations, such as Democracy International Inc., National Democratic Institute for International Affairs, International Republican Institute, etc., were also heavily included in the termination list. This strongly suggests a clear focal point of the policy shift: a significant reduction or restructuring of USAID's direct spending on overseas election support and the promotion of specific models of democracy.

Secondly, the list reveals the broad impact of this action on the international development contracting industry. Numerous large and medium-sized contractors, such as Deloitte Consulting LLP, Chemonics International, Inc., DAI Global LLC, Tetra Tech, Palladium International LLC, etc., had multiple contracts canceled. These contracts cover a wide range of fields. Beyond democratic governance, they also include traditional development assistance projects in economic development, public health (e.g., contracts related to Family Health International, World Health Organization), education (e.g., Education Development Center, Inc., World Education, Inc.), environment, and infrastructure construction. This indicates that this contract cleanup was not limited to a single issue but potentially touched upon broad aspects of USAID's project portfolio.

From a methodological perspective, this report serves as a data compilation and analytical starting point based on original administrative documents. It does not contain direct explanations for the reasons for termination, legal basis, compensation situations, or geopolitical context. However, the structured data it provides lays the groundwork for subsequent in-depth research. Analysts can further investigate the strategic intent, execution patterns, impact on recipient countries, and the shock to the U.S. development assistance system itself caused by this large-scale contract cancellation, based on supplier type, the possible project categories implied by contract number prefixes, and the intensity of termination timing. The report's content is objective and factual, serving as a valuable case study for researching the continuity of U.S. foreign policy, the politics of development assistance, and the practice of government contract management.
