Alba Lucia Roncancio

Alba Lucia Roncancio serves as a key procurement lead within USAID/Colombia, supporting the agency’s mission to advance sustainable development and institutional resilience through strategic contracting. She manages the acquisition of professional, scientific, and technical services critical to program implementation, including policy advisory, capacity building, and cross-sectoral program design. Her work directly enables USAID’s strategic priorities in climate-smart agriculture, inclusive economic growth, and governance innovation by ensuring timely, compliant, and high-impact contract awards to qualified service providers. She operates within the full lifecycle of federal procurement, from needs assessment to contract closeout, with a strong emphasis on performance-based outcomes and local stakeholder engagement. Her primary contractor relationship is with AMD International Technologies LLC, a firm frequently selected for its expertise in delivering technical assistance and institutional strengthening services in complex development environments. Roncancio’s contracting pattern reflects a preference for established, high-capacity vendors with proven track records in international development contexts, often partnering with firms capable of delivering multi-year, multi-component technical services across Colombia’s diverse regions. These partnerships are characterized by long-term engagement, performance monitoring, and alignment with USAID’s technical standards and reporting requirements. Roncancio’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% non-set-aside orientation, indicating a focus on full and open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her award patterns, her approach emphasizes technical competence, local presence, and proven delivery capacity over socioeconomic classifications. Her primary NAICS classification is 541990—All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services—reflecting a deep specialization in procurement for advisory, analytical, and implementation support services. She consistently acquires expertise in governance reform, environmental sustainability, and economic policy analysis, ensuring that technical assistance aligns with USAID’s strategic objectives and Colombian institutional needs.
