Jennifer Crow-Yang

Jennifer Crow-Yang serves as a key procurement professional within the U.S. Agency for International Development’s Office of Management and Administrative Affairs (7200AA), where she oversees the acquisition of technical and professional services critical to advancing global governance, institutional capacity building, and policy advisory initiatives. Her portfolio centers on complex, mission-driven contracts that support international development programs, particularly in democratic engagement and emergency response coordination. She manages full lifecycle procurements under FAR Part 15, emphasizing performance-based requirements and outcome-oriented deliverables to ensure alignment with USAID’s strategic objectives in partner nations. Her primary contractor relationships are anchored by AMD International Technologies LLC, a trusted vendor delivering high-impact technical assistance and program implementation services. Crow-Yang cultivates long-term, performance-based partnerships with firms capable of providing adaptive, context-specific solutions across diverse geopolitical environments. While she maintains a primary reliance on large, experienced contractors, her procurement approach is designed to integrate specialized expertise efficiently while ensuring accountability and measurable development outcomes. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 88.9% of awards issued without set-asides, indicating a focus on capability-driven selection over socioeconomic classifications. However, she consistently allocates 11.1% of opportunities to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but intentional commitment to small business participation where competitive advantage and capacity align with program needs. Crow-Yang’s procurement focus is dominated by NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), reflecting her specialization in governance reform, institutional strengthening, and policy analysis services. She also procures engineering services and business support functions, but her core expertise lies in securing non-routine, knowledge-intensive technical assistance that enables sustainable public sector transformation abroad.
