Dennis E. Foster, Jr.

Dennis E. Foster serves as a Contract Specialist with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), operating under agency code 7200AA, where he plays a pivotal role in executing strategic procurement actions that advance global development objectives. He manages the full lifecycle of complex service-based acquisitions, including technical assistance, institutional capacity building, and policy advisory contracts, ensuring alignment with USAID’s mission to strengthen public sector governance and economic resilience in partner nations. His work supports high-priority programs in democratic engagement, emergency response coordination, and public administration reform, requiring rigorous compliance with federal acquisition regulations and international development standards. Mr. Foster maintains a consistent working relationship with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a primary contractor providing specialized professional and technical services. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for established, experienced vendors capable of delivering mission-critical, cross-border technical support. While he engages with a limited pool of core contractors, his approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, clear statement of work development, and rigorous contractor performance evaluations to ensure accountability and program impact. Mr. Foster’s portfolio reflects a 100% non-set-aside contracting profile, indicating a focus on full and open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This approach prioritizes technical capability and proven international experience over socioeconomic criteria, aligning with USAID’s need for specialized expertise in complex, high-stakes development environments. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), encompassing governance advisory, institutional assessments, and policy design. He also frequently procures services under NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) and NAICS 611430 (Professional and Management Development Training), demonstrating deep expertise in technology-enabled capacity building and leadership development programs for public sector institutions abroad.
