Alexa Zapletal

Alexa Zapletal 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 acquisitions aligned with technical assistance, policy advisory services, and institutional development initiatives, primarily focusing on non-defense government support services. Her work ensures that USAID’s global programming is enabled by reliable, high-quality contract vehicles that align with U.S. foreign policy objectives and international development best practices. Zapletal maintains a primary working relationship with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a contractor frequently engaged to deliver specialized technical support, institutional capacity-building services, and governance reform implementation. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in international development contexts, indicating a focus on performance-based, outcome-driven partnerships rather than transactional procurement. She consistently relies on a limited pool of experienced contractors capable of operating in complex, low-resource environments across multiple regions. Her procurement activity is entirely classified under “No Set-Aside,” reflecting a strategic emphasis on competitive, open bidding to ensure the broadest access to technical expertise rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her approach prioritizes capability and track record over socioeconomic categorization, aligning with USAID’s mission-critical need for specialized international development services. Her procurement focus is exclusively centered on NAICS 921190 — Other General Government Support — encompassing services such as policy analysis, governance diagnostics, electoral support, public administration training, and emergency response coordination. She procures high-level consulting, technical advisory, and implementation support services tailored to strengthening public institutions in partner nations, demonstrating deep domain expertise in international governance and development systems.
