Market Entry

A nonbinding U.S.–Zambia memorandum of understanding encourages U.S. private-sector participation in projects across sectors including energy, mining, transportation, and digital services through March 2028. It is a market-development framework—not a solicitation, award, or funding commitment—so companies must pursue opportunities through project-specific engagement with Zambian counterparts.

An EU apparel and footwear manufacturer is seeking a U.S. partner to explore market entry, including potential federal and military procurement channels. Any DLA or DHS opportunity requires solicitation-specific review of domestic-sourcing rules, including potentially applicable Berry and Kissell Amendment provisions.

A nonbinding U.S.–Zambia memorandum encourages U.S. private-sector participation across ten sectors and promotes transparent, sustainable procurement. It may help companies identify projects and relevant agency support, but it provides no funding, award guarantee, or procurement commitment; commercial terms must be negotiated directly with Zambia.
