Ashlee Tuck

Ashlee Tuck serves as a Contract Specialist within the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), operating under agency code 7200AA, where she plays a pivotal role in executing strategic procurement actions that advance global development objectives. She manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for technical assistance, institutional capacity building, and policy advisory services, ensuring alignment with federal contracting regulations and USAID’s mission to strengthen public sector governance and economic resilience in partner nations. Her portfolio primarily encompasses professional and management consulting services, with a focus on complex, performance-based contracts requiring technical rigor and compliance with international development standards. Ashlee maintains consistent working relationships with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a key contractor providing high-value technical and administrative support services. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in international development contexts, while also fostering reliable, long-term vendor partnerships that ensure continuity in mission-critical programs. She engages contractors through competitive solicitations under FAR Part 15, emphasizing past performance, technical capability, and organizational stability in evaluation criteria. Her set-aside preferences show a strong orientation toward open competition, with 81.8% of awards issued without set-aside designations. However, she actively supports small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, consistently allocating 18.2% of acquisitions to qualified small businesses. This balance reflects a strategic commitment to market competition while ensuring equitable access for small business contractors capable of delivering complex development services.
