Kelly Tobin

Kelly Tobin serves as a Recruiter for the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), operating under agency code 7200AA, where she plays a critical role in staffing and workforce planning for technical assistance and institutional capacity-building initiatives. Her responsibilities encompass identifying, vetting, and onboarding specialized personnel to support USAID’s global development missions in governance reform, democratic engagement, and emergency response coordination. Tobin interfaces directly with contract vehicles and staffing firms to secure high-caliber professionals with expertise in public sector modernization, policy advisory, and institutional strengthening, ensuring alignment with USAID’s strategic objectives and compliance with federal hiring and procurement regulations. Her primary contractor relationship is with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a firm frequently engaged to provide specialized human capital solutions, including contract staff augmentation and technical advisory services. Tobin’s procurement patterns reflect a preference for established, full-service staffing vendors capable of delivering vetted experts in governance, economic development, and public administration. Her working relationships are characterized by sustained engagement with a limited pool of pre-vetted contractors, emphasizing quality, compliance, and mission alignment over broad competition. Tobin’s procurement activity shows no reliance on socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on securing mission-critical expertise regardless of vendor size or certification status, prioritizing technical proficiency and proven track records in international development contexts. Her procurement activity is exclusively classified under NAICS 921190 (Other General Government Support), indicating a narrow but deep specialization in staffing and personnel services for public sector capacity building. She procures contract professionals with expertise in institutional governance, electoral systems, public financial management, and policy analysis—services essential to USAID’s mission of strengthening partner nation institutions.
