Daphne Collier

Daphne Collier 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 that advance global development objectives. She manages the full lifecycle of acquisition activities for technical assistance and institutional capacity-building contracts, ensuring alignment with USAID’s mission to strengthen governance, economic resilience, and social development in partner nations. Her portfolio primarily encompasses professional services related to policy advisory, public sector reform, and emergency response coordination, with a strong emphasis on compliance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) standards and international development best practices. Collier maintains a consistent working relationship with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a key contractor providing specialized technical and management consulting services. Her procurement approach reflects a preference for long-term, performance-based partnerships with firms capable of delivering complex, mission-critical support across multiple countries. She engages with a mix of large and small vendors, prioritizing contractual flexibility and technical expertise to meet dynamic program needs in volatile operating environments. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a strong commitment to socioeconomic inclusion, with 20% of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and 10% reserved for Women-Owned Small Businesses. While the majority of acquisitions (70%) are unrestricted, she actively promotes small business participation through targeted outreach and streamlined solicitation processes that lower barriers to entry for qualified firms. Collier’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services) and 541611 (Administrative Management Consulting), reflecting her specialization in governance reform, institutional strengthening, and organizational development services. She also procures related support under NAICS 812990 and 813920, including technical training, policy analysis, and professional association services essential to building sustainable public sector capacity abroad.
