Cheryl Hampton

Cheryl Hampton serves as a Contract Specialist within the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), operating under agency code 7200AA, where she plays a pivotal role in executing strategic procurements aligned with the agency’s mission of advancing global governance, economic resilience, and institutional capacity building. She manages the full lifecycle of acquisition actions for technical assistance and management consulting services, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and USAID’s development objectives. Her portfolio primarily consists of performance-based contracts supporting public sector reform, democratic engagement, and emergency response coordination in partner nations, requiring rigorous requirement development, source selection, and contract administration. Cheryl maintains a consistent working relationship with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a primary contractor providing high-level administrative and general management consulting services. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established, experienced vendors capable of delivering complex, mission-critical advisory services across diverse international environments. She engages with contractors through competitive sealed bidding and negotiated procurements, emphasizing technical merit, past performance, and organizational capacity over price alone, ensuring alignment with USAID’s developmental outcomes. Cheryl’s contracting activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on selecting the most qualified entities capable of delivering high-stakes technical assistance globally, rather than prioritizing socioeconomic categories. While small business participation is not formally targeted in her portfolio, her approach remains compliant with all federal small business policy requirements. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541611—Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services—where she procures expert advisory services in institutional strengthening, public financial management, governance reform, and organizational development. Her domain expertise lies in contracting for policy advisory, capacity-building programs, and public sector modernization initiatives, ensuring that USAID’s technical assistance achieves measurable, sustainable impact abroad.
