Jonathan Bui

Jonathan Bui serves as a key procurement lead within the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), supporting the agency’s mission to strengthen international governance, economic resilience, and institutional capacity in partner nations. He manages a portfolio of technical assistance and advisory contracts focused on public sector reform, democratic engagement, and emergency response coordination. His acquisitions primarily involve professional and scientific services that enable USAID to deliver policy advisory, institutional strengthening, and program evaluation services abroad. Bui operates within the agency’s broader strategy to align contracting with development outcomes, ensuring that procurement supports long-term capacity building rather than short-term deliverables. His primary contractor relationship is with AMD International Technologies LLC, a firm frequently engaged for its expertise in governance programming, technical consulting, and institutional development services. Bui maintains a consistent pattern of awarding sole-source and competitive contracts to specialized firms with demonstrated experience in international development contexts. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, requiring contractors to deliver measurable results in complex, multi-country environments, often under tight diplomatic and operational constraints. Bui’s contracting portfolio shows no reliance on socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic preference for selecting the most technically qualified firms regardless of size or certification, prioritizing domain expertise and proven international implementation capacity over socioeconomic criteria. While small business participation is not formally incentivized, his awards occasionally flow to small firms with niche technical capabilities in governance and policy advisory. His procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services) and 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services), reflecting deep engagement with governance reform, institutional diagnostics, and policy design services. He frequently procures technical assistance in democratic governance, public financial management, and civil society engagement, requiring contractors with field experience in fragile and conflict-affected states. His expertise lies in aligning consulting services with USAID’s strategic development objectives across diverse geopolitical contexts.
