Alescia Almond

Alescia Almond serves as a key procurement professional within the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), operating under agency code 7200AA, where she supports the agency’s mission to strengthen international governance, democratic institutions, and public sector capacity through strategic contracting. She manages the acquisition of technical assistance and management consulting services essential to institutional reform efforts in partner nations, focusing on high-impact, policy-driven engagements that align with USAID’s global development priorities. Her portfolio primarily consists of performance-based, task-order contracts awarded under indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) mechanisms, ensuring flexible and responsive support for complex, multi-year capacity-building initiatives. Almond maintains a consistent working relationship with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a primary contractor providing administrative and general management consulting services. Her procurement pattern reflects a preference for established, non-small business vendors with demonstrated expertise in international development programming, governance advisory, and institutional strengthening. While she collaborates with a limited number of contractors, her engagements are characterized by long-term, performance-oriented partnerships grounded in technical rigor and measurable outcomes. Her contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition, reflecting a mission-driven emphasis on selecting the most qualified providers regardless of socioeconomic status. This approach prioritizes technical capability and proven international experience over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with USAID’s need for specialized, high-caliber expertise in complex global environments. Her primary procurement focus is NAICS 541611—Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services—encompassing strategic planning, organizational development, public sector reform, and governance diagnostics. She procures services that enhance the operational efficiency and policy implementation capacity of foreign ministries, electoral bodies, and civil society institutions, demonstrating deep domain expertise in institutional capacity building and international development management.
