Kimberly Tran

Kimberly Tran serves as a Contracting Officer for the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), operating under agency code 7200AA, where she manages the acquisition of technical assistance and institutional capacity-building services critical to advancing global governance and economic resilience. She is responsible for executing full lifecycle procurement actions for professional services contracts that support policy advisory, democratic engagement, and public sector reform initiatives in partner nations. Her portfolio primarily consists of performance-based, outcome-driven acquisitions aligned with USAID’s mission to strengthen public institutions abroad, utilizing competitive solicitation methods including RFQs, RFPs, and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles. Tran maintains a consistent working relationship with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a primary contractor delivering high-level management consulting and technical advisory services. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established, experienced firms with demonstrated expertise in international development contexts, fostering long-term partnerships built on performance accountability and compliance with federal acquisition regulations. While she engages a limited number of prime contractors, her process emphasizes rigorous source selection, past performance evaluation, and contract performance monitoring. Tran’s contracting portfolio exhibits no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on selecting the most qualified providers based on technical merit and operational capacity rather than socioeconomic categorizations, aligning with USAID’s need for specialized, globally experienced service providers in complex international environments. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541618 (Other Management Consulting Services) and 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), encompassing institutional assessments, governance diagnostics, electoral support, and policy design. She routinely procures expert-led technical assistance, organizational development services, and capacity-building interventions tailored to fragile and transitioning governments, demonstrating deep expertise in international development consulting and public sector modernization.
