Alejandra Garcia

Alejandra Garcia serves as an Acquisition Specialist at USAID/Guatemala, where she plays a pivotal role in advancing the agency’s mission of strengthening democratic governance, economic resilience, and social equity through strategic procurement. She manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for professional, scientific, and technical services that support institutional capacity building, civil society engagement, and public sector accountability initiatives. Her work directly enables USAID’s technical assistance programs by securing expert consultants, policy advisors, and implementation partners who deliver targeted interventions in anti-corruption, gender-based violence prevention, and local development systems. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, Garcia’s procurement activity consistently engages a diverse pool of professional service providers with deep expertise in governance, rule of law, and development economics. She collaborates with both domestic and international firms, as well as local Guatemalan entities, to ensure culturally informed, context-specific solutions. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear statement of work development, and rigorous evaluation of technical proposals to ensure alignment with USAID’s strategic objectives. Garcia’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% preference for non-set-aside contracts, indicating a focus on competitive, open bidding processes that prioritize technical merit and value over socioeconomic classifications. While she does not currently utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her approach ensures broad market access and fosters competition among qualified vendors with demonstrated expertise in international development services. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541990—All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services—encompassing policy analysis, institutional diagnostics, monitoring and evaluation, training design, and stakeholder engagement services. She specializes in acquiring high-caliber technical expertise to support complex, multi-year development programs requiring adaptive management and evidence-based decision-making in fragile institutional environments.
