Food For Peace Recruitment Team

The Food For Peace Recruitment Team operates within the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), specifically under the Mission Operations and Administrative Affairs (MOAA) division, to support the agency’s global humanitarian and development mission through strategic procurement of technical and administrative services. While not a formal contracting officer role, the team facilitates the recruitment and engagement of specialized service providers critical to implementing food assistance programs, emergency response initiatives, and institutional capacity-building efforts abroad. They coordinate with contracting offices to define requirements, manage solicitation processes, and ensure alignment with USAID’s policy objectives in governance, economic resilience, and humanitarian aid delivery. The team maintains a primary working relationship with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a contractor frequently engaged to deliver logistical, operational, and technical support services for food distribution networks and program monitoring systems. Their vendor partnerships emphasize performance-based, results-driven contracts with a focus on implementation efficiency and compliance with international development standards. The team favors established contractors with proven track records in cross-border program execution and supply chain coordination. The team’s procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, reflecting a strategic emphasis on competitive, open competition to ensure the broadest possible access to technical expertise and operational scalability. There is no formal preference for 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, indicating a procurement approach prioritizing capability and mission alignment over socioeconomic criteria. Their primary procurement activity centers on NAICS 921190 (Other General Government Support), encompassing program management, monitoring and evaluation, and administrative support for international food assistance. A secondary focus on NAICS 812990 (All Other Personal Services) reflects demand for specialized consultants in nutrition, logistics, and governance advisory services. The team’s expertise lies in procuring mission-critical, non-commodity services that enable USAID’s Food for Peace program to operate effectively in complex, high-risk environments.
