Alana Garcia Dominguez

Alana Garcia Dominguez serves as a key procurement professional within USAID/Honduras, supporting the agency’s mission to strengthen democratic governance, citizen security, and resilient market systems through strategic acquisitions of technical advisory services. She manages the full lifecycle of contracts aligned with institutional capacity building, public sector reform, and localized development outcomes, with a primary focus on procuring expert-led services in rule of law, electoral integrity, civic engagement, and migration policy. Her acquisitions are designed to deliver high-impact, context-specific technical assistance that empowers Honduran institutions and civil society actors, ensuring U.S. foreign assistance objectives are met through locally driven solutions. Her contractor relationships center on specialized firms and individual consultants with deep regional expertise in governance, rule of law, and civic innovation. She consistently engages with vendors possessing proven track records in designing and implementing complex, multi-stakeholder technical assistance programs, often partnering with firms that combine local knowledge with international best practices. These partnerships are characterized by long-term, performance-based engagements that emphasize adaptive management, monitoring and evaluation, and stakeholder coordination. Alana’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations. This approach prioritizes merit-based selection of the most qualified providers, regardless of socioeconomic status, ensuring the highest technical quality and programmatic impact. While she does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her process remains transparent and competitive, fostering an environment where expertise, not certification, determines award outcomes. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 812990 (All Other Personal Services), encompassing expert consulting, technical advisory, and capacity-building services. She routinely procures specialized personnel for institutional diagnostics, policy design, training, and electoral support, demonstrating deep expertise in human capital-driven development interventions. Her work is grounded in evidence-based methodologies and tailored to the evolving needs of Honduran public institutions.
