Kevin Sampson serves as a Contracting Officer within the U.S. Agency for International Development’s Mission Operations, Administration, and Engineering Services Division (M/OAA/EGAT), where he manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions supporting international development programs. His portfolio centers on technical assistance, institutional capacity building, and infrastructure-related services critical to strengthening public sector governance in partner nations. Sampson oversees complex acquisitions under FAR and agency-specific guidelines, ensuring compliance with U.S. foreign assistance objectives while maintaining rigorous accountability in award execution. He routinely handles service-based contracts requiring specialized expertise in governance, emergency response coordination, and technical advisory services. Sampson maintains a consistent working relationship with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC as a primary contractor, reflecting a pattern of sustained engagement with firms capable of delivering high-complexity, multi-disciplinary support across diverse international environments. His procurement approach favors long-term, performance-based partnerships with vendors demonstrating proven capacity in adaptive program implementation, systems integration, and field-level technical delivery. While he collaborates with a range of contractors, his reliance on a limited set of established partners underscores a preference for reliability, institutional knowledge, and operational continuity in mission-critical engagements. His contracting patterns show a strong preference for open competition, with 90.9% of awards issued without set-aside designations, indicating a focus on broad market competition and value-driven outcomes. However, he maintains a measured commitment to small business participation, with 9.1% of awards directed under Total Small Business Set-Asides per FAR 19.5, demonstrating balanced adherence to socioeconomic goals without compromising mission effectiveness. Sampson’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), reflecting his specialization in governance advisory, policy analysis, and institutional strengthening services. He also routinely procures construction and engineering services under NAICS 236220, 237990, and 238210, supporting infrastructure development aligned with development objectives. His portfolio further includes personal services under NAICS 812990, underscoring his role in managing specialized technical personnel deployed in complex, high-risk operating environments abroad.
