Armen E. Yeghiazarian

Armen E. Yeghiazarian serves as an Acquisition Specialist at USAID/Armenia, where he plays a pivotal role in executing strategic procurements aligned with the agency’s mission of fostering democratic governance, economic resilience, and sustainable development. He manages a diverse portfolio of non-construction acquisitions focused on technical assistance, institutional capacity building, and policy advisory services. His work supports long-term systemic change by securing expert consulting services, governance strengthening programs, and strategic communications solutions, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and USAID’s development objectives. Yeghiazarian maintains a consistent working relationship with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a primary contractor providing management consulting and technical support services. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for established, high-capacity vendors with proven expertise in public sector reform and development programming. While he engages with a limited number of prime contractors, his approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous evaluation criteria, and contract compliance to ensure value and impact in USAID’s development initiatives. His set-aside preferences are overwhelmingly aligned with open competition, with 98.5% of acquisitions conducted without socioeconomic set-asides. Only 1.5% of awards are designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a focus on capability and mission alignment over socioeconomic targeting. This reflects a deliberate strategy to prioritize subject matter expertise and institutional capacity in a complex development environment, rather than leveraging small business set-aside programs. Yeghiazarian’s procurement activity is heavily concentrated in NAICS 541618 (Other Management Consulting Services) and 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), underscoring his specialization in governance, public administration, and strategic communications consulting. He also regularly procures administrative management consulting (541611) and engineering services (541330), with minimal activity in construction (237110). His expertise lies in securing high-value professional services that build local institutional capacity and advance USAID’s long-term development goals in Armenia.
