Jenelle A Burns

Jenelle A. Burns serves as a Recruiter for the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), operating under agency code 7200AA, where she plays a critical role in staffing and personnel acquisition for technical and administrative functions supporting international development programs. Her responsibilities encompass end-to-end recruitment lifecycle management for mission-critical roles, including contract specialists, governance advisors, and emergency response coordinators. She aligns closely with USAID’s mission to strengthen institutional capacity in partner nations by ensuring the agency is equipped with qualified personnel to deliver technical assistance, policy advisory services, and democratic governance support. Her acquisitions primarily involve personal services contracts under non-appropriated funding streams, focused on sustaining operational continuity across global field offices. Jenelle maintains a consistent working relationship with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a primary vendor providing specialized personnel services for USAID’s technical missions. Her contractor partnerships are characterized by long-term, performance-based engagements that emphasize subject-matter expertise in international development, institutional strengthening, and public sector reform. These relationships are typically structured as task-order-based personal services contracts, allowing for flexible staffing to meet evolving program demands without permanent federal hires. Jenelle’s procurement activity reflects no set-aside preferences, with 100% of her acquisitions awarded under full and open competition. While she does not prioritize socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, her approach is aligned with mission-critical staffing needs, prioritizing qualifications and domain expertise over socioeconomic categorization. Her primary NAICS focus is 812990 (All Other Personal Services), accounting for 72.7% of her acquisitions, which encompasses the procurement of consultants, technical advisors, and program support staff. The remaining 27.3% falls under 921190 (Other General Government Support), reflecting administrative and operational staffing needs. Her expertise lies in sourcing professionals with deep experience in governance reform, economic resilience initiatives, and emergency response coordination within complex international environments.
