Annmarie McGillicuddy

Annmarie McGillicuddy serves as Executive Officer for USAID/Colombia, providing strategic oversight of procurement activities aligned with the agency’s mission to advance sustainable development and institutional resilience. In this capacity, she leads the planning, execution, and compliance of technical assistance and program support acquisitions, ensuring alignment with U.S. foreign assistance priorities and federal contracting regulations. Her portfolio centers on professional services that enable policy advisory, cross-sectoral program design, and capacity-building initiatives, particularly in climate-smart agriculture, inclusive economic growth, and governance innovation. She plays a pivotal role in translating USAID’s development objectives into actionable contracting strategies that emphasize local partnership and long-term sustainability. McGillicuddy maintains a primary working relationship with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a key contractor providing high-level technical and analytical services to support USAID’s program implementation. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established, mission-aligned service providers with demonstrated expertise in international development contexts. While she engages with a limited number of core vendors, her approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous monitoring, and adherence to U.S. government standards for accountability and impact. Her contracting activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on technical excellence and institutional capacity over socioeconomic preferences, consistent with USAID’s emphasis on results-driven partnerships in complex operating environments. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), encompassing policy analysis, monitoring and evaluation, and institutional strengthening services. She also regularly procures personal services under NAICS 812990 and 812199, including specialized technical advisors and field-based implementation support. Her expertise spans the full lifecycle of development-focused service contracts, with deep familiarity in performance management, donor compliance, and adaptive program design.
