Inez Leyro

Inez Leyro serves as a key procurement professional within the Office of Acquisition at the Federal Trade Commission, supporting the agency’s mission to advance U.S. development finance and private sector investment in emerging economies. Though her formal title is not listed, her procurement activities center on securing specialized legal, governance, and management consulting services critical to international program execution. She manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions—from requirements definition to contract award and administration—ensuring alignment with federal regulations and strategic priorities such as institutional capacity building and environmental compliance. Her work directly enables the agency’s operational effectiveness in complex, cross-border environments. Leyro collaborates with a focused network of legal and management consulting firms, primarily engaged through competitive sealed bidding and negotiated procurements under FAR Part 15. She consistently partners with firms possessing deep expertise in international law, regulatory compliance, and public sector advisory services. While no specific contractor names are available, her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established professional service providers with demonstrated experience in multilateral development frameworks and U.S. government compliance standards. Her procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of awards issued under non-set-aside conditions. This indicates a strategic focus on selecting the most qualified providers regardless of socioeconomic status, prioritizing technical capability and mission alignment over socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. Leyro’s acquisitions are heavily concentrated in NAICS 541110 (Offices of Lawyers), reflecting a primary need for legal counsel on international development finance, anti-corruption frameworks, and cross-border regulatory alignment. She also frequently procures administrative and general management consulting services under NAICS 541611 to support institutional strengthening and operational efficiency. Her technical domain expertise lies in governance, legal compliance, and risk management within international development contexts.
