Edel Perez

Edel Perez-Campos serves as an Acquisition and Assistance Specialist at USAID/Colombia, where she leads the design, solicitation, and management of technical assistance and development contracts aligned with the agency’s mission of fostering sustainable economic transformation, environmental resilience, and governance innovation. She specializes in complex, cross-sectoral procurements that integrate policy advisory services, engineering solutions, and environmental planning to support local institutional capacity building. Her work ensures that USAID’s strategic priorities—climate-smart agriculture, inclusive growth, and accountability mechanisms—are translated into actionable, results-driven contracts with high technical rigor and compliance with federal acquisition regulations. Perez-Campos maintains a strong working relationship with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a key contractor providing multidisciplinary technical support across program implementation. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term, performance-based partnerships with firms capable of delivering integrated, context-specific solutions in complex operational environments. She collaborates closely with contractors to ensure alignment with USAID’s local stakeholder engagement model, prioritizing adaptability, monitoring and evaluation frameworks, and knowledge transfer as core contract requirements. Her contracting portfolio reflects a clear preference for open, non-set-aside competitions, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This approach underscores a strategic focus on technical merit and value-driven outcomes rather than socioeconomic set-asides, though she remains attentive to the capabilities of small businesses when they demonstrate the requisite expertise. Perez-Campos primarily procures services under NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), 541620 (Environmental Consulting Services), and 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction). Her technical domain expertise spans climate-resilient infrastructure, environmental impact assessments, and institutional strengthening initiatives, ensuring that acquisitions directly support USAID’s mission of sustainable development through evidence-based, locally grounded interventions.
