Kathleen Mazur

Kathleen Mazur serves as a Contract Specialist with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), operating under agency code 7200AA, where she plays a pivotal role in executing strategic acquisitions that advance global development objectives. She manages the full lifecycle of procurements for technical assistance, institutional capacity building, and governance reform initiatives, ensuring alignment with federal acquisition regulations and USAID’s mission to strengthen public sector institutions abroad. Her portfolio primarily encompasses professional services contracts supporting policy advisory, administrative management, and emergency response coordination, requiring meticulous compliance with international development procurement standards and donor transparency requirements. Kathleen maintains a consistent working relationship with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a key contractor providing high-level management consulting and technical support services. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with demonstrated expertise in international development contexts, while also fostering collaboration with firms experienced in cross-cultural program implementation. She engages with contractors through competitive sealed bidding and negotiated procurements, prioritizing performance-based outcomes and measurable impact in partner nations. Her procurement strategy reflects a strong commitment to socioeconomic goals, with 40% of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. She actively promotes participation from small businesses across multiple socioeconomic categories, ensuring equitable access to USAID contracting opportunities. While the majority of her awards remain open to all competitors, her deliberate use of set-asides underscores a balanced approach to fostering competition and expanding the pool of qualified small business vendors in the international development sector. Kathleen’s primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services), reflecting her specialization in governance and institutional strengthening. She also routinely procures services under NAICS 561410 (Document Preparation Services), 541990 (Other Professional Services), and 561320 (Temporary Help Services), supporting operational efficiency and workforce flexibility in complex, multi-country programs. Her expertise centers on securing non-clinical, policy-driven technical services that enable sustainable institutional capacity in partner governments.
