Jeanette Lee

Jeanette Lee serves as a Contract Specialist within the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), operating under agency code 7200AA, where she plays a pivotal role in executing strategic procurements that advance global development objectives. She manages the full lifecycle of acquisition actions, from requirements definition through contract award and administration, with a focus on technical assistance, institutional capacity building, and governance reform initiatives. Her portfolio primarily supports policy advisory services, public sector strengthening, and emergency response coordination in partner nations, ensuring compliance with FAR, DFARS, and USAID’s Automated Directives System. She specializes in professional services contracts that enable sustainable development outcomes through evidence-based program implementation. Jeanette maintains a consistent working relationship with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a key contractor providing specialized technical and management support services. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established, high-capacity vendors with demonstrated expertise in international development contexts, though she also engages a range of firms capable of delivering complex, mission-critical services across diverse geographic environments. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous evaluation criteria, and long-term vendor reliability over transactional engagements. Her set-aside preferences are heavily skewed toward open competition, with 88.2% of awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides, reflecting the nature of her portfolio’s technical complexity and global scope. Nevertheless, she consistently allocates 11.8% of awards to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but intentional commitment to small business participation where market capability aligns with program needs. Jeanette’s procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), which accounts for 70.6% of her activity, encompassing governance consulting, institutional diagnostics, and capacity-building interventions. She also procures services under NAICS 541611 (Management Consulting) and 561110 (Office Administrative Services), reflecting a need for integrated support functions. Her domain expertise lies in public sector modernization, democratic governance, and program management services critical to USAID’s mission of fostering resilient, transparent institutions abroad.
