HICDpro-CPC Contract Specialist

HICDpro-CPC Contract Specialist serves as an Office of Acquisition Assistance (OAA) representative within the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), operating under agency code 7200AA. In this role, they manage the full lifecycle of professional services acquisitions aligned with USAID’s mission to strengthen international governance, democratic institutions, and public sector capacity. They specialize in procuring technical assistance, policy advisory services, and institutional development support for global programs, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and USAID’s strategic priorities in governance reform and emergency response coordination. Their acquisitions are primarily non-construction, performance-based contracts designed to deliver high-impact, results-driven outcomes in complex international environments. The specialist maintains a consistent working relationship with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a key contractor providing specialized technical and analytical services in support of USAID’s institutional strengthening initiatives. Their procurement patterns reflect a preference for established, experienced firms capable of delivering cross-sector expertise in governance, economic resilience, and program evaluation. Vendor partnerships are typically long-term, performance-oriented, and rooted in demonstrated technical proficiency rather than geographic or socioeconomic criteria. There is no preference for socioeconomic set-asides; 100% of their acquisitions are competed without restriction under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-driven focus on selecting the most qualified providers regardless of business size or certification status, prioritizing technical merit and programmatic impact over socioeconomic targeting. Their procurement activity is exclusively concentrated under NAICS 541990—All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services—encompassing policy analysis, capacity building, monitoring and evaluation, and institutional diagnostics. They routinely procure expert consulting services in democratic governance, public financial management, and electoral systems support, demonstrating deep expertise in the technical domains critical to USAID’s international development objectives.
