Charles Hill

Charles Hill supports the Office of Contracts within the U.S. Agency for Global Media in managing mission-critical procurement activities that sustain international broadcasting infrastructure. He oversees acquisitions essential to maintaining secure, reliable transmission systems abroad, decommissioning obsolete equipment, and enabling workforce mobility for personnel at remote facilities. His portfolio centers on professional services that ensure operational continuity and technical compliance across global media operations, with a focus on contract types governed by FAR Part 12 and Part 37. He works closely with program managers and technical evaluators to align procurement strategies with USAGM’s mandate of independent global media outreach. While specific contractor names are not disclosed, Hill engages with a diverse ecosystem of service providers specializing in technical support, logistics, and operational consulting. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for performance-based, task-order contracts under indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) mechanisms, fostering long-term vendor partnerships that ensure continuity in high-risk, geographically dispersed environments. He prioritizes vendors with proven experience in international telecommunications, broadcast engineering, and remote site maintenance. Hill demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 24.1% of his acquisitions set aside for total small businesses under FAR 19.5. His contracting approach consistently prioritizes small business eligibility without reliance on specialized socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, indicating a focus on broad-based capability rather than targeted socioeconomic categories. This pattern reflects a strategic alignment with USAGM’s operational needs and a preference for competitive, open-market sourcing. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), with significant activity in translation and interpretation services (541930), marketing research (541910), and management training (611430). He routinely procures technical consulting, language support, and operational development services critical to sustaining global media operations, demonstrating deep expertise in mission-aligned professional services procurement.
