Lindsay Miesko

Lindsay Miesko 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 sourcing and onboarding specialized personnel to support the agency’s global development mission. Her responsibilities include identifying and engaging qualified professionals for technical assistance, institutional capacity building, and governance reform initiatives across international partner nations. Miesko’s work directly enables USAID’s procurement of high-value human capital services, ensuring that contract personnel possess the requisite expertise in public sector modernization, democratic engagement, and emergency response coordination. She primarily handles personnel services acquisitions under general government support contracts, facilitating the deployment of subject matter experts to meet mission-critical staffing needs. Miesko maintains a consistent working relationship with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a key vendor providing staffing and professional services solutions aligned with USAID’s technical assistance objectives. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established contractors with proven track records in delivering international development workforce solutions, particularly those capable of rapid mobilization and compliance with federal foreign assistance protocols. She collaborates closely with these partners to ensure alignment with USAID’s standards for performance, security clearances, and cultural competency in high-risk operating environments. Miesko’s contracting activity is exclusively non-set-aside, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted under open competition without socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB preferences. This reflects the agency’s operational need for specialized, mission-critical talent that may not always be available through small business channels, prioritizing subject matter expertise over socioeconomic criteria in personnel services acquisitions. Her primary procurement focus is under NAICS 921190 (Other General Government Support), encompassing the acquisition of professional staffing services for governance, policy advisory, and institutional strengthening programs. She specializes in sourcing experts in public administration, electoral systems, rule of law, and crisis response—domains requiring deep technical knowledge and international field experience.
