Kelsey Nocket

Kelsey Nocket 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 talent acquisition to support the agency’s global development mission. Her work ensures that USAID’s technical assistance, governance reform, and institutional capacity-building initiatives are staffed with qualified professionals capable of delivering policy advisory services and emergency response coordination abroad. Nocket primarily handles personnel-related acquisitions, including task orders for professional services, consulting contracts, and long-term staffing solutions that align with USAID’s strategic priorities in democratic engagement and public sector strengthening. Her primary contractor relationship is with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a firm frequently engaged to provide specialized human capital and technical support services. Nocket’s procurement patterns reflect a consistent reliance on this vendor for mission-critical staffing needs, indicating a mature, long-term partnership built on demonstrated performance in delivering qualified personnel for complex international assignments. While other vendors may be utilized, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC remains the dominant partner in her acquisition portfolio, suggesting a high degree of trust and operational integration. Nocket’s contracting activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a procurement strategy prioritizing specialized expertise and rapid deployment over socioeconomic preferences, consistent with the agency’s need for highly skilled, often security-cleared professionals in time-sensitive global contexts. Her procurement focus is entirely concentrated under NAICS 921190 (Other General Government Support), indicating a narrow specialization in administrative and personnel support services rather than direct program implementation. She procures services such as international staffing, policy advisory support, and institutional capacity-building personnel—services essential to sustaining USAID’s on-the-ground operations and technical engagements in partner nations.
