Alisa J. Dunn

Alisa J. Dunn serves as a Procurement Technician at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), operating under agency code 7200AA, where she supports the agency’s mission to strengthen international governance, economic resilience, and social development through strategic procurement of technical assistance services. In her role, she facilitates the acquisition of professional consulting services critical to institutional capacity building, policy advisory, and democratic engagement initiatives abroad. She manages the full lifecycle of contract actions, from requirement development and market research to award documentation and post-award administration, ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and USAID’s foreign assistance priorities. Dunn maintains consistent working relationships with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a primary contractor delivering high-impact management and technical advisory services. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established, experienced vendors capable of supporting complex, multi-country programs, with a focus on firms that demonstrate proven expertise in public sector reform and international development contexts. While she engages with a limited number of core contractors, her approach emphasizes performance reliability, technical alignment, and compliance with U.S. government contracting standards. Her set-aside preferences are heavily skewed toward open competition, with 92.3% of acquisitions conducted without socioeconomic set-asides, reflecting the specialized nature of the services required. Only 7.7% of awards are designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a targeted but limited reliance on small business participation, typically reserved for niche or regionally specific technical needs. Dunn’s procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services), accounting for 44.4% of her portfolio, followed by 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services) at 33.3%, and 541613 (Marketing Consulting Services) at 22.2%. She specializes in procuring strategic advisory services, institutional strengthening programs, and technical support for public sector modernization, demonstrating deep expertise in governance and development consulting domains.
