Aisha Staples

Aisha Staples serves as a key procurement lead within the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), operating under agency code 7200AA, where she manages strategic acquisitions aligned with international development objectives. She specializes in technical assistance and institutional capacity-building contracts that support governance reform, democratic engagement, and emergency response coordination in partner nations. Her portfolio centers on policy advisory services, public sector modernization, and cross-border program implementation, ensuring that acquisitions directly advance USAID’s mission of strengthening foreign institutions through evidence-based, results-driven interventions. Staples exercises full lifecycle contract management, from requirements definition through performance evaluation, with a focus on high-impact, long-term engagement. Her primary contractor relationship is with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a trusted partner delivering specialized technical services in international governance and institutional development. Staples consistently engages this vendor for complex, multi-year assignments requiring deep expertise in public administration reform, electoral systems support, and civil society capacity enhancement. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established, mission-aligned firms with proven experience in fragile and conflict-affected environments, prioritizing performance history and technical credibility over cost alone. Staples does not utilize any socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of her acquisitions awarded under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic decision to prioritize technical excellence and global scalability over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with USAID’s international operational imperatives where local capacity constraints often necessitate access to specialized international expertise. Her procurement activity is exclusively focused on NAICS 928120 (International Affairs), encompassing services such as policy analysis, institutional assessment, training design, and governance diagnostics. She procures high-level consulting, technical monitoring, and evaluation services that require advanced domain knowledge in international development, public finance management, and democratic governance—ensuring that USAID’s interventions are both technically rigorous and contextually adaptive.
