Antonett Jones

Antonett Jones serves as a Program Assistant within the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), under agency code 7200AA, supporting the agency’s mission to strengthen international governance, democratic institutions, and public sector capacity through targeted technical assistance. In this role, she facilitates the end-to-end procurement lifecycle for professional services contracts, coordinating with program officers, legal advisors, and contracting specialists to ensure compliance with federal acquisition regulations. Her responsibilities include preparing solicitation documents, managing vendor communications, and tracking contract performance to align with USAID’s strategic objectives in institutional development and policy reform. Jones maintains a consistent working relationship with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a primary contractor providing specialized technical services in governance programming, institutional assessment, and capacity-building initiatives. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for long-term, performance-based partnerships with firms capable of delivering high-level advisory services, data-driven analysis, and program evaluation support to international partners. She engages with vendors through competitive sealed bidding and task order mechanisms under indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles, emphasizing quality of technical proposal and past performance over cost alone. Jones’s procurement portfolio exhibits no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic alignment with USAID’s global programming needs, where specialized expertise often requires non-traditional or international service providers not eligible for socioeconomic set-asides. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her portfolio, all procurements adhere to transparency and fair competition standards under FAR Part 15. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541990—All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services—encompassing governance advisory, democratic engagement support, policy analysis, and institutional diagnostics. She routinely procures services related to public financial management, electoral systems strengthening, and civil society capacity building, demonstrating deep expertise in technical assistance contracting for international development contexts.
