Avery Stevenson

Avery Stevenson serves as a key procurement lead within the Peace Corps Office of Administrative and Corporate Management (OACM), responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain the agency’s global operational infrastructure and workforce readiness. Their role centers on securing specialized services critical to volunteer safety, institutional capacity, and digital mission support, with a focus on contract execution under FAR Part 12 and Part 15 procedures. Stevenson routinely handles task orders and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts for professional services, ensuring alignment with Peace Corps’ mission to enable safe, effective, and technologically enabled international service delivery. Their primary contractor relationship is with Biometrics4All, Inc., a trusted vendor providing biometric identification and background investigation services essential to volunteer vetting and security compliance. Stevenson cultivates strategic, long-term partnerships with niche service providers specializing in high-sensitivity operational support, emphasizing reliability, regulatory adherence, and scalability across diverse international environments. These relationships are characterized by consistent recompetition and performance-based contract management, reinforcing accountability and mission alignment. Set-aside preferences reflect a balanced approach: 81.8% of awards are unrestricted, while 18.2% are structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to small business participation without compromising mission-critical requirements. No other socioeconomic set-asides are predominant, indicating a preference for broad competition among qualified small firms rather than targeted programs like 8(a) or HUBZone. Stevenson’s procurement portfolio is heavily concentrated in NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), 611430 (Professional and Management Development Training), and 524292 (Pharmacy Benefit Management and Third-Party Administration), reflecting expertise in IT infrastructure, leadership development, and health services administration. They procure technical consulting, training systems, and administrative support services critical to sustaining a globally deployed workforce, with deep domain knowledge in compliance-driven service delivery for federal missions.
