Diana Gomez

Ms. Diana Gomez serves as a contracting professional with USAID/Colombia, where she plays a pivotal role in advancing the agency’s mission of sustainable development and institutional resilience through strategic procurement. She manages the acquisition of technical assistance and professional services that support cross-sectoral programs in climate-smart agriculture, inclusive economic growth, and governance innovation. Her portfolio primarily consists of performance-based contracts for policy advisory, capacity building, and program design services, ensuring alignment with USAID’s goal of fostering long-term local capacity. She works closely with program officers to translate strategic objectives into compliant, results-driven procurement actions that adhere to federal acquisition regulations and international development best practices. Ms. Gomez maintains a consistent working relationship with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a key contractor providing specialized technical services in program implementation, monitoring, and evaluation. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established, high-capacity firms with demonstrated expertise in international development contexts, particularly those capable of delivering complex, multi-year technical assistance. While she engages primarily with large, experienced vendors, her approach emphasizes performance accountability, deliverable-based milestones, and compliance with USAID’s standards for transparency and results. Ms. Gomez’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic alignment with USAID/Colombia’s mandate to access the highest caliber of technical expertise available globally, prioritizing capability and performance over socioeconomic classifications. Her approach underscores a focus on mission-critical outcomes rather than socioeconomic preferences, consistent with the agency’s international development context and the need for specialized, scalable solutions. Her primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 541990—All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services—encompassing consulting, research, data analysis, and institutional strengthening services. She routinely procures expertise in environmental sustainability, economic policy reform, and accountability systems, ensuring that technical assistance aligns with Colombia’s national development priorities and USAID’s strategic framework.
