Ann-Marie S. Webster serves as an Acquisitions Specialist for USAID/Jamaica, where she plays a pivotal role in executing strategic procurement actions aligned with the agency’s mission to advance sustainable development and institutional resilience across the Caribbean. She manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for technical assistance and capacity-building services, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and USAID’s development objectives. Her portfolio primarily supports governance strengthening, public health system enhancements, and democratic institutional capacity, with a focus on performance-based contracting and results-driven procurement strategies. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, Webster consistently engages with a diverse pool of consulting firms specializing in public sector reform and technical advisory services. She fosters collaborative vendor partnerships with firms possessing deep regional expertise in Caribbean institutional contexts, emphasizing contractual clarity, performance metrics, and local stakeholder engagement to ensure programmatic success and sustainability. Webster demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with 87.5% of her acquisitions conducted without set-aside restrictions. However, she actively supports small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate commitment to expanding economic opportunity for U.S.-based small businesses in the international development sector. Her contracting patterns align with USAID’s broader socioeconomic goals, prioritizing fair access while maintaining rigorous performance standards. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services), which accounts for 75% of her activity, and NAICS 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services), representing 25%. She routinely procures services related to institutional governance, program evaluation, HIV/AIDS management support, and public administration capacity building, requiring contractors with proven expertise in complex, multi-stakeholder environments and adaptive management frameworks.
