Ingrid Rangel

Ingrid Rangel serves as a key procurement professional within the U.S. Agency for International Development/Mexico (USAID/Mexico), supporting the agency’s mission to strengthen democratic governance, rule of law, and inclusive economic development. She manages the acquisition of technical assistance services designed to build local institutional capacity, enhance civic engagement, and improve criminal justice systems through adaptive, evidence-based programming. Her portfolio primarily consists of professional, scientific, and technical services contracts that enable monitoring and evaluation frameworks, localized partner engagement, and adaptive learning systems critical to USAID’s development outcomes. She operates within a results-driven procurement environment that prioritizes performance metrics, local ownership, and sustainable impact. Rangel collaborates with a diverse range of contractors, including international development consultants, research institutions, and local Mexican civil society organizations with expertise in governance and institutional reform. Her working relationships emphasize long-term, performance-based partnerships rather than transactional engagements, fostering collaboration between U.S.-based technical experts and in-country implementers. She routinely engages firms with demonstrated experience in public sector capacity building, data-driven program design, and stakeholder coordination across government, private sector, and civil society actors. Rangel’s procurement activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her approach ensures equitable access for all qualified vendors, emphasizing technical merit, local relevance, and value for money over socioeconomic categorization. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541990—All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services—encompassing advisory services in democratic governance, institutional assessment, anti-corruption programming, and monitoring and evaluation design. She procures specialized technical support for policy reform, justice sector modernization, and civic participation initiatives, requiring deep domain expertise in Latin American institutional contexts and USAID’s development methodologies.
