Charlie M Brown

Charlie M Brown serves as a Contract Specialist within the Agency for International Development (USAID), specifically operating under the M/OAA office. In this capacity, Brown is responsible for the administration and execution of procurement actions that support the agency's global mission. Their role involves managing the full acquisition lifecycle, ensuring that procurement activities align with federal regulations and agency-specific guidelines to facilitate the delivery of critical international development services and infrastructure projects. The contractor landscape at USAID M/OAA is characterized by a reliance on large-scale implementers and specialized technical firms. Vendors active at this agency include Chemonics International, Inc., the American Institutes for Research, Creative Associates International, Inc., and the Education Development Center. The agency frequently utilizes multiple-award vehicles to engage these diverse partners, ensuring a broad range of technical expertise is available to meet the complex requirements of international development programs. Regarding socioeconomic contracting patterns, Brown’s current procurement activity shows a distinct preference for full and open competitions. Based on recent data, there is a consistent pattern of utilizing no set-aside designations for their acquisitions. This suggests a focus on high-capacity vendors capable of managing large-scale, complex requirements where the scale of the project necessitates a broad, unrestricted competitive field rather than specific small business socioeconomic designations. Brown’s technical domain expertise is heavily concentrated in the construction and civil engineering sectors. Their procurement patterns indicate a primary focus on NAICS 237990, specializing in other heavy and civil engineering construction. Additionally, they manage acquisitions related to power and communication line structures under NAICS 237130, as well as water and sewer line construction under NAICS 237110. This specialization demonstrates a professional focus on critical infrastructure development, encompassing the procurement of essential utility and transportation frameworks necessary for international stability and growth.
