Jessica Soja

Jessica Soja serves as a Recruiter for the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), Office of Management and Administrative Affairs (7200AA), where she supports the agency’s mission to strengthen global governance and institutional capacity through strategic human capital acquisition. In this role, she manages end-to-end recruitment processes for mission-critical civilian and technical positions, ensuring alignment with USAID’s international development priorities. Her acquisitions focus on professional services related to governance advisory, institutional strengthening, and emergency response coordination, typically procuring contract labor under general government support authorities to fill specialized roles in field offices and headquarters. Soja maintains a primary working relationship with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a key vendor providing personnel services for USAID’s technical assistance programs. Her procurement patterns reflect a reliance on established professional services contractors capable of delivering experienced subject matter experts in public administration, democratic governance, and institutional reform. She engages with vendors through task order mechanisms under indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts, emphasizing quality of personnel, security clearances, and cultural competency for international deployment. Soja’s contracting portfolio reflects no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This indicates a procurement strategy prioritizing specialized expertise and mission-critical readiness over socioeconomic classifications, though it does not preclude small business participation when vendors meet technical requirements. Her approach aligns with USAID’s need for rapid, high-caliber staffing in complex global environments. Her primary NAICS classification is 921190 (Other General Government Support), underscoring her focus on administrative, technical, and advisory staffing services rather than goods or construction. She procures personnel for roles in policy analysis, capacity building, monitoring and evaluation, and public sector reform—domains requiring deep contextual knowledge and proven experience in international development frameworks.
