Holly Evan

Holly Evan supports the U.S. Trade and Development Agency’s mission by managing technical assistance and feasibility-based acquisitions that de-risk infrastructure development in emerging markets. While her formal title is not listed, her procurement activities center on securing consulting services that inform project scoping, policy alignment, and private-sector engagement abroad. She routinely handles task orders and interagency agreements for strategic advisory services, particularly those advancing U.S. commercial interests in digital infrastructure, energy systems, and aviation modernization. Her work directly enables the agency’s goal of catalyzing sustainable, U.S.-led investment through evidence-based planning and technical analysis. Holly collaborates with a diverse ecosystem of consulting firms and technical service providers, prioritizing firms with deep expertise in international development, public-private partnership structuring, and sector-specific engineering analysis. Though no single contractor dominates her portfolio, her engagements consistently involve firms capable of delivering cross-border project assessments, stakeholder mapping, and regulatory compliance studies. She fosters long-term partnerships with vendors who demonstrate agility in dynamic regulatory environments and a proven track record in multilateral project environments. Holly demonstrates a strong institutional commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 80% of her acquisitions designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to empower small, innovative firms—including 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB-certified entities—that bring niche capabilities in international market analysis and technical scoping. Her contracting patterns consistently prioritize small business participation as a core pillar of program delivery, aligning with USTDA’s broader equity and capacity-building objectives. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services), where she sources specialized advisory work on infrastructure feasibility, critical minerals supply chain analysis, and digital governance frameworks. She also procures administrative management consulting (541611) and office administrative services (561110) to support program operations. Her domain expertise centers on translating complex international development needs into actionable, U.S.-company-ready procurement opportunities.
