Alexa Zapletal serves as a key procurement professional within the U.S. Agency for International Development’s Mission Operations and Administrative Affairs (MOAA), supporting the agency’s global development mission through strategic acquisition of general government support services. She manages a portfolio of contracts focused on institutional capacity building, governance reform, and emergency response coordination, ensuring that technical assistance and policy advisory services are effectively delivered to partner nations. Her acquisitions are mission-critical, enabling USAID to strengthen public sector institutions abroad through tailored administrative, logistical, and operational support solutions. Zapletal maintains a primary working relationship with AMD International Technologies LLC, a trusted contractor providing high-level program support, technical consulting, and institutional strengthening services. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established, non-small business vendors with demonstrated expertise in international development operations. She engages contractors through competitive sealed bidding and performance-based contract vehicles, emphasizing outcome-driven deliverables and compliance with federal acquisition regulations. Her procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on securing specialized, scalable expertise rather than socioeconomic set-asides, aligning with USAID’s need for rapid, high-quality implementation capacity in complex international environments. While small business participation is not a primary contracting driver, her awards consistently prioritize technical merit, past performance, and global operational experience. Zapletal’s acquisitions are concentrated under NAICS 921190—Other General Government Support—reflecting her specialization in administrative, policy, and institutional support services essential to USAID’s overseas missions. She procures services including governance advisory, democratic engagement support, program monitoring and evaluation, and emergency response coordination, requiring deep domain knowledge in international development frameworks and public sector reform. Her expertise lies in aligning procurement strategy with foreign assistance objectives, ensuring that contracting outcomes directly advance U.S. foreign policy goals.
