FFP PSC Recruitment and Contracts Team

The FFP PSC Recruitment and Contracts Team serves as the central procurement function for the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), operating under agency code 7200AA, to support the agency’s mission of advancing global development through institutional capacity building and governance reform. This team manages the full lifecycle of acquisition activities for technical assistance, policy advisory services, and public sector strengthening initiatives, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and USAID’s development objectives. They routinely handle complex, performance-based contracts for professional services, including governance diagnostics, electoral support, and emergency response coordination, aligning procurement strategy with foreign policy and development outcomes. The team maintains a primary contracting relationship with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a trusted vendor providing high-level technical and administrative support for institutional strengthening programs. Their vendor partnerships are characterized by long-term, performance-driven engagements with firms possessing deep expertise in international development, public administration, and democratic governance. These relationships reflect a preference for proven contractors with demonstrated experience in complex, multi-country environments and a capacity to deliver mission-critical services under dynamic operational conditions. The team’s contracting profile reflects a consistent 100% preference for non-set-aside procurements, indicating a strategic focus on open competition to ensure the broadest possible access to technical expertise rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB designations, the team adheres to all statutory requirements and evaluates vendors based on technical merit, past performance, and global operational capacity. Their procurement activity is exclusively categorized under NAICS 921190—Other General Government Support—reflecting a specialized focus on high-level administrative, technical, and policy advisory services in support of foreign government institutions. The team procures services including institutional assessments, capacity-building training, governance diagnostics, and technical coordination for public sector reforms, demonstrating deep domain expertise in international development administration and public governance systems.
