Abdulaziz Yousuf

Abdulaziz Yousuf serves as a Contract Specialist at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), under agency code 7200AA, where he plays a pivotal role in executing strategic procurements that advance international development objectives. He manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for technical assistance, institutional capacity building, and policy advisory services, ensuring alignment with USAID’s mission to strengthen governance, economic resilience, and social development in partner nations. His portfolio primarily involves complex service-based contracts requiring rigorous compliance with federal acquisition regulations, particularly in areas requiring specialized expertise and cross-border implementation. Yousuf maintains a consistent working relationship with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC as a primary contractor, engaging them on high-priority technical assistance and program support initiatives. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with demonstrated capacity in international development contexts, while also fostering partnerships with firms capable of delivering adaptive, context-sensitive solutions across diverse geopolitical environments. His approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and outcome-driven deliverables. While the majority of his acquisitions are conducted as unrestricted competitions (80%), Yousuf demonstrates a deliberate commitment to small business participation, consistently allocating 20% of opportunities as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a strategic effort to expand the footprint of small businesses in global development contracting, prioritizing socioeconomic inclusion without compromising program integrity. His procurement focus centers on NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), reflecting deep engagement with governance reform, democratic engagement, and emergency response coordination services. He also routinely procures administrative management consulting (541611), technical consulting (541690), and related support services such as freight logistics (488510) and insurance brokerage (524210), underscoring his expertise in managing integrated, multi-disciplinary development programs.
