Kamuchizya Mutambo

Kamuchizya Mutambo serves as a key procurement lead within USAID/Zambia, supporting the agency’s mission to strengthen public health systems, agricultural resilience, and digital governance through strategic acquisitions. Responsible for managing complex service-based contracts, Mutambo focuses on securing technical assistance and institutional capacity-building services that align with USAID’s data-driven development goals. Their procurement portfolio centers on expert consulting, operational support, and systems integration services critical to advancing health information systems and supply chain transparency across Zambia’s public sector. Mutambo collaborates with a diverse array of service providers, including international development consultants, local Zambian firms, and specialized management advisory firms. While no single contractor dominates the portfolio, the contracting pattern reflects a preference for experienced, technically proficient vendors capable of delivering adaptive, context-specific solutions in complex environments. Relationships are typically structured as performance-based, outcome-oriented contracts emphasizing measurable impact and local stakeholder engagement. Mutambo demonstrates a strong preference for open, non-set-aside acquisitions, with 83.3% of contracts awarded without socioeconomic restrictions. However, a consistent 16.7% of awards are allocated to small business set-asides, including 8(a) competed and Local Area Set-Aside (FAR 26.2) contracts, reflecting a balanced approach that prioritizes both efficiency and inclusive economic participation. This pattern underscores a commitment to leveraging local capacity while maintaining flexibility to source high-quality technical expertise. The primary NAICS focus is on All Other Personal Services (75%), encompassing expert advisory, training, and technical support roles, followed by All Other Support Services (16.7%) and Other Management Consulting Services (8.3%). Mutambo specializes in procuring services that enhance institutional performance—such as data analytics, health system diagnostics, and digital governance tools—ensuring that acquisitions directly advance USAID/Zambia’s objectives in sustainable development and local ownership.
