Andrea Miskin

Andrea Miskin serves as a key procurement professional within the U.S. Agency for International Development’s Mission Communications and Information Office (M/CIO), supporting the agency’s global development mission through the acquisition of mission-critical information technology and professional services. She manages a portfolio focused on securing scalable, secure, and interoperable digital solutions that underpin international programs in health, governance, and emergency response. Her acquisitions center on enterprise system modernization, cybersecurity infrastructure, and information assurance services, ensuring compliance with federal standards such as NIST and FISMA. Miskin plays a pivotal role in aligning contracting strategies with USAID’s strategic priorities to strengthen digital resilience across low-resource environments. Her contractor relationships are primarily with firms specializing in IT modernization, cloud-enabled services, and cybersecurity consulting, though no single vendor dominates her portfolio. She engages with a broad spectrum of industry partners, including systems integrators, managed service providers, and niche technology firms capable of delivering tailored solutions for complex international contexts. Her working patterns reflect a preference for performance-based, outcome-driven contracts that emphasize agility, compliance, and long-term operational sustainability. Miskin’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. While she does not prioritize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her approach ensures equitable access for all qualified vendors through transparent, merit-based evaluation criteria. Her primary NAICS focus is 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), reflecting a deep specialization in custom software development, systems integration, IT consulting, and technical support services. She procures solutions that enhance data interoperability, secure information exchange, and digital infrastructure resilience—core capabilities required to support USAID’s global mission in dynamic and high-risk operating environments.
