Caitlyn Shelley

Caitlyn Shelley serves as a Recruiter for the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), operating under agency code 7200AA, where she plays a critical role in staffing and workforce planning for international development programs. Her responsibilities include identifying, vetting, and securing specialized personnel to support technical assistance initiatives in governance reform, democratic engagement, and institutional capacity building. She interfaces closely with contracting officers and program managers to align human capital acquisitions with USAID’s strategic objectives, ensuring that contract vehicles and staffing solutions meet the complex demands of overseas operations. Her acquisitions typically involve professional services contracts for international development experts, policy advisors, and technical consultants deployed in fragile and emerging environments. Shelley maintains a primary working relationship with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a firm consistently engaged to provide high-caliber personnel for USAID’s global missions. Her contractor partnerships are characterized by long-term, performance-based engagements that emphasize subject matter expertise in public sector reform, electoral systems, and emergency response coordination. She favors vendors with proven track records in delivering mission-critical staffing solutions under stringent compliance and security protocols, often leveraging indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) mechanisms to ensure rapid deployment of qualified personnel. Shelley’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without socioeconomic set-asides. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her approach is rooted in merit-based selection, ensuring that staffing solutions meet the highest technical and operational standards required for international development work. Her primary procurement focus lies under NAICS 921190 (Other General Government Support), where she secures specialized professional services related to public administration, institutional strengthening, and governance advisory. She routinely procures contract personnel with expertise in public financial management, rule of law, civil society engagement, and democratic governance—domains critical to USAID’s mission of advancing sustainable development through institutional capacity building.
