Kelly Fink

Kelly Fink serves as a Contract Specialist within the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), operating under agency code 7200AA, where she manages the acquisition lifecycle for technical assistance and institutional capacity-building initiatives. Her work directly supports USAID’s mission to strengthen public sector governance, economic resilience, and social development in partner nations. Fink specializes in procuring professional services related to management consulting, research and development, and facilities support, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and aligning procurements with strategic foreign assistance objectives. She routinely handles complex, performance-based contracts requiring rigorous technical evaluation and risk mitigation. Fink maintains consistent working relationships with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a primary contractor providing specialized advisory services in governance and institutional reform. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established, experienced vendors capable of delivering high-complexity, mission-critical services across diverse international environments. While she engages a limited number of core contractors, her approach emphasizes performance accountability, deliverable-based milestones, and long-term partnership development rather than transactional sourcing. Her contracting portfolio reflects a strong orientation toward open competition, with 83.3% of awards issued without set-aside designations, indicating a focus on selecting the most qualified providers regardless of socioeconomic status. Nevertheless, she consistently allocates 16.7% of awards to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but intentional commitment to small business participation within a high-stakes international development context. Fink’s primary NAICS focus areas include 541618 (Other Management Consulting Services) and 541611 (Administrative Management Consulting), reflecting her expertise in governance, policy, and institutional strengthening. She also procures services under 541712 (Research and Development), 561210 (Facilities Support), and 812990 (Personal Services), indicating a multidisciplinary approach to supporting USAID’s field operations, data-driven program design, and logistical readiness in complex operating environments.
