Dominique Chittum

Dominique Chittum serves as a key procurement lead within the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), operating under agency code 7200AA, where they oversee the acquisition of technical assistance and institutional capacity-building services critical to the agency’s global development mission. Their work centers on securing expert support for governance reform, democratic engagement, and public sector strengthening in partner nations, primarily through performance-based contracts for policy advisory, institutional analysis, and emergency response coordination. Chittum manages a portfolio of non-commercial, service-oriented acquisitions aligned with USAID’s strategic priorities, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and international development best practices. Chittum maintains a consistent working relationship with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a primary contractor providing specialized technical services in governance and institutional development. Their procurement pattern reflects a preference for established, experienced firms capable of delivering complex, long-term advisory services across diverse geopolitical contexts. Vendor partnerships are typically structured as task-order contracts under indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) mechanisms, emphasizing performance metrics, technical rigor, and local capacity transfer. Chittum’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 securing the highest-quality technical expertise available globally, prioritizing capability and track record over socioeconomic classification. While small business participation is not formally targeted, the nature of the acquisitions often allows for subcontracting arrangements that may indirectly support small business involvement. The primary NAICS categories under Chittum’s purview are 921190 (Other General Government Support) and 812990 (All Other Personal Services), indicating a heavy emphasis on professional, non-clinical advisory services. Their acquisitions routinely involve policy analysis, institutional diagnostics, training design, and governance diagnostics—services requiring deep subject-matter expertise in public administration, electoral systems, and civil society engagement. Chittum’s domain expertise lies in procuring high-integrity, evidence-based technical assistance to advance institutional resilience in fragile and transitioning states.
