Huyen Dang

Huyen Dang serves as a key procurement professional within USAID/Vietnam, supporting the agency’s mission to advance sustainable development through strategic acquisitions of technical and management consulting services. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of contracts aligned with governance strengthening, public health, education, and environmental resilience initiatives, Dang ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while prioritizing outcomes-driven solutions. Their portfolio primarily encompasses professional services that build local institutional capacity, facilitate evidence-based policymaking, and support innovation ecosystems in Vietnam, often involving complex, performance-based contracting approaches. Dang maintains a consistent working relationship with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a primary contractor delivering technical assistance and program implementation support across multiple sectors. The procurement pattern reflects a preference for established firms with demonstrated expertise in international development, policy analysis, and capacity-building programs. While the partnership with AMD is prominent, Dang also engages a broader network of qualified vendors capable of delivering specialized services in alignment with USAID’s long-term development objectives, fostering reliable, results-oriented vendor partnerships grounded in performance metrics and local context. Dang’s contracting approach prioritizes open competition, with 75% of acquisitions conducted without set-aside restrictions, reflecting a focus on merit-based selection of the most capable providers. However, a deliberate 25% of awards are structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a clear commitment to expanding opportunities for small businesses with relevant technical expertise. This balance ensures competitive rigor while actively promoting socioeconomic inclusion and local market development in Vietnam’s professional services sector. The primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), encompassing technical assistance, monitoring and evaluation, and policy advisory services. A secondary emphasis on NAICS 541611 (Administrative Management Consulting) underscores a need for organizational strengthening and program management support. Dang’s expertise centers on procuring high-impact, non-construction services that enhance institutional governance, data-driven decision-making, and scalable development interventions.
