James Reid

Jim R. Reid serves as a Negotiator for the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), operating under agency code 7200AA, where he plays a critical role in securing technical assistance and institutional capacity-building services essential to USAID’s global development mission. He specializes in negotiating complex, performance-based contracts for governance reform, economic resilience, and emergency response programs, ensuring alignment with federal acquisition regulations and strategic development objectives. His work directly supports the agency’s efforts to strengthen public sector institutions in partner nations through expert-led advisory services and technical interventions. Reid maintains a consistent working relationship with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a primary contractor delivering management consulting and technical support services. His procurement approach emphasizes collaboration with firms capable of delivering high-level policy advisory, institutional diagnostics, and program implementation support. He engages vendors with proven expertise in international development contexts, fostering long-term partnerships that prioritize technical excellence, adaptability, and local capacity enhancement. Reid’s contracting patterns reflect a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly 39% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of acquisitions remain open to all competitors, his consistent use of small business set-asides demonstrates a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for disadvantaged and economically disadvantaged firms, aligning with USAID’s broader socioeconomic inclusion goals. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541611 (administrative and management consulting) and 541990 (other professional services), reflecting his emphasis on governance, policy, and institutional development support. He also regularly procures specialized services in water supply systems (221310) and plastics-related manufacturing (326160, 424610), indicating a diverse technical portfolio that supports both institutional and infrastructure development objectives in low-resource environments.
