Daphne Collier

Daphne Collier serves as a Contract Specialist with USAID/Philippines (Agency Code: 720492), where she plays a pivotal role in executing the agency’s mission to advance sustainable development through expert-led technical assistance and institutional strengthening. She manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions, from requirement definition and market research to contract award and administration, with a primary focus on professional, scientific, and technical services that support governance, economic growth, and climate resilience initiatives. Her acquisitions directly enable capacity-building programs in public administration, financial management, and infrastructure development, ensuring alignment with USAID’s strategic objectives and compliance with federal acquisition regulations. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the dataset, Collier consistently engages with a broad spectrum of domestic and international professional service providers, including consulting firms, research institutions, and technical implementation partners. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, outcome-driven deliverables, and rigorous contractor oversight to ensure value and accountability in complex, mission-critical engagements. Collier’s contracting portfolio reflects a 100% preference for non-set-aside acquisitions, indicating a focus on open competition and global competitiveness rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This pattern suggests a prioritization of technical expertise and scalability over socioeconomic targeting, consistent with the nature of high-specialization services required for USAID’s technical assistance programs. Her procurement activity is entirely concentrated under NAICS 541990—All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services—encompassing services such as policy analysis, institutional diagnostics, monitoring and evaluation, climate risk assessments, and capacity-building training. This specialization underscores her deep expertise in procuring high-level technical advisory services that underpin USAID’s long-term development outcomes in the Philippines.
