Bui Huyen Trang

Bui Huyen Trang serves as a secondary procurement support specialist at the U.S. Embassy in Hanoi, operating under the Department of State’s Office of Overseas Buildings Operations. In this role, she assists in the execution of mission-critical acquisitions that sustain diplomatic infrastructure and essential services in a high-demand overseas environment. Her responsibilities include coordinating contract documentation, supporting market research, and facilitating compliance with federal acquisition regulations for non-sealed, non-competitive procurements. She primarily supports acquisitions related to facility operations, logistics, and mission support services, ensuring alignment with the embassy’s strategic priorities of operational continuity and security. Her primary contractor relationship is with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a vendor frequently engaged for specialized logistical and operational support services. Trang’s procurement pattern reflects a preference for established, non-traditional contractors with proven overseas experience, often working through simplified acquisition procedures or blanket purchase agreements. She maintains a collaborative, process-driven working relationship with vendors, emphasizing reliability, regulatory compliance, and timely delivery in a constrained operational environment. Trang’s contracting activity shows no reliance on socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of her supported acquisitions awarded under full and open competition. This reflects the embassy’s operational imperative to prioritize speed, availability, and proven capability over socioeconomic preferences, particularly in mission-critical or time-sensitive procurements where qualified small business alternatives may be limited in the local or regional market. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS 524114 (Direct Health and Medical Insurance Carriers), 721110 (Hotels and Motels), 561599 (Travel Arrangement Services), and 541199 (Legal Services). These categories support the embassy’s core needs: medical coverage for personnel, temporary lodging for staff and visitors, travel coordination for diplomatic missions, and legal advisory services for compliance and personnel matters. Her expertise lies in navigating complex overseas procurement environments to secure essential services under strict security and regulatory constraints.
