Jimmie Curtis

Jimmie Curtis serves as a Contract Specialist within the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), operating under agency code 7200AA, where he plays a pivotal role in executing strategic procurements aligned with the agency’s global development mission. He manages the full lifecycle of acquisition actions for technical assistance and institutional capacity-building contracts, ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and USAID’s policy priorities in governance reform, democratic engagement, and emergency response coordination. His portfolio primarily consists of professional services acquisitions designed to strengthen public sector institutions in partner nations, with a focus on consultative and technical advisory services that support sustainable development outcomes. Curtis maintains a consistent working relationship with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC as a primary contractor, frequently engaging the firm for management consulting and program support services. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with demonstrated expertise in international development contexts, while also fostering a balanced approach that integrates small business participation. He collaborates closely with contractors to ensure deliverables align with USAID’s technical standards and performance metrics, emphasizing accountability, transparency, and results-driven outcomes. His contracting activity demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic goals, with 30% of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for small businesses in the international development sector. While the majority of procurements are unrestricted, his consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a strategic alignment with federal mandates to promote equitable access and diverse vendor participation. Curtis’s procurement focus centers on NAICS 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services), accounting for over half of his acquisitions, followed by NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services). He regularly procures policy advisory services, institutional strengthening programs, and technical support for public sector reform initiatives, demonstrating deep expertise in governance and development consulting domains. His work ensures that USAID’s technical assistance is delivered through high-capacity, mission-aligned service providers.
