Jennifer Kiiru

Jennifer Kiiru serves as an Acquisition and Assistance Specialist at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) mission in Nairobi, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical procurement and assistance actions to advance sustainable development across Kenya and the East African region. She manages a diverse portfolio of professional services contracts aligned with USAID’s priorities in private sector growth, public health systems strengthening, electoral integrity, and climate resilience. Her work encompasses the full lifecycle of acquisition processes—from needs assessment and solicitation development to award administration and performance monitoring—ensuring compliance with federal regulations and USAID’s policy framework for effective, transparent, and results-driven programming. Jennifer maintains a consistent working relationship with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a key contractor providing specialized technical and analytical support across multiple development sectors. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for long-term, performance-based partnerships with firms capable of delivering high-quality, context-specific consulting services tailored to complex development challenges. She collaborates closely with technical units to align contractor deliverables with strategic objectives, ensuring alignment with USAID’s mission-driven outcomes. Her contracting activity is exclusively classified under the “No Set-Aside” category, indicating a focus on open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her approach emphasizes capability, technical merit, and value for money as the primary selection criteria. Jennifer’s procurement activity is concentrated entirely within NAICS 541990—All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services—reflecting her specialization in procuring expert consulting services in areas such as economic policy analysis, institutional capacity building, data systems design, and monitoring and evaluation frameworks. Her domain expertise lies in supporting evidence-based decision-making through high-caliber technical assistance in development contexts.
