Armen E. Yeghiazarian

Armen E. Yeghiazarian serves as a key procurement lead within USAID/Armenia, overseeing the acquisition of technical assistance and institutional capacity-building services aligned with the agency’s mission of promoting democratic governance, economic resilience, and sustainable development. He manages a portfolio of non-construction contracts focused on policy advisory, public administration reform, and strategic communications, ensuring that procurement aligns with long-term systemic development goals rather than infrastructure delivery. His work directly supports USAID’s objective of strengthening local institutions through evidence-based, locally led solutions. Yeghiazarian maintains a consistent partnership with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a primary contractor providing management consulting and program implementation services. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established, high-capacity firms with demonstrated expertise in governance and development programming, often engaging vendors with deep regional experience in Armenia and the Caucasus. These relationships are characterized by multi-year, performance-based agreements that emphasize outcome delivery, adaptive management, and knowledge transfer to local stakeholders. His procurement activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on selecting the most technically qualified providers regardless of business size or certification status, prioritizing program impact over socioeconomic targeting criteria. While small business participation is not formally incentivized, all procurements adhere to federal transparency and competition requirements. Yeghiazarian’s primary contracting focus lies in NAICS 541618 (Other Management Consulting Services), where he procures strategic planning, institutional assessment, and governance advisory services. He also regularly acquires services under NAICS 924110 for environmental policy and resource management programs. His expertise centers on technical assistance in public sector reform, human rights advocacy, and energy sector governance, ensuring that funded initiatives are grounded in local context and sustainable institutional capacity.
