Armen Tamazyan

Armen H. Tamazyan serves as an Acquisition Specialist at USAID/Armenia, where he plays a pivotal role in advancing the agency’s mission of building democratic governance, economic resilience, and sustainable development through strategic procurement. He manages the full lifecycle of acquisition processes for technical assistance and institutional strengthening services, with a focus on policy advisory, capacity building, and public administration reform. His work ensures that contracting activities align with USAID’s long-term development objectives, prioritizing local ownership and systemic impact over infrastructure delivery. Tamazyan typically handles complex service-based acquisitions requiring high levels of technical expertise and performance-based management. His primary contractor relationships center on AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a key partner delivering management consulting and analytical services that support USAID’s governance and economic programs. He cultivates strategic vendor partnerships with firms possessing deep sectoral knowledge in public sector reform, financial systems strengthening, and strategic communications. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for established, high-capacity contractors capable of delivering complex, multi-year technical assistance under performance-based contracts, often involving subcontracting to local Armenian institutions to ensure sustainability. Tamazyan’s contracting portfolio reflects a 100% no set-aside preference, indicating a focus on full and open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While he does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, his approach emphasizes technical merit, past performance, and local capacity building over socioeconomic categorization, aligning with USAID’s emphasis on results-driven outcomes. His primary NAICS focus areas include Other Management Consulting Services (541618), accounting and financial advisory services (541219, 541211), and select construction-related services for institutional facilities (236220, 221310). He specializes in procuring professional services that enhance public sector efficiency, financial transparency, and energy infrastructure planning, demonstrating deep expertise in governance, institutional finance, and strategic communications support.
