Munoz serves as a Contracting Officer within the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), operating under agency code 7200AA, where she manages the acquisition of critical technical services to advance international governance and institutional capacity building. Her portfolio centers on procurement activities that support democratic engagement, public sector reform, and emergency response coordination across global partner nations. She specializes in awarding and administering service-based contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a focus on ensuring compliance, transparency, and mission alignment in complex international development contexts. Ms. Munoz maintains a primary contracting relationship with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a key vendor providing specialized investigation and personal background check services. Her procurement patterns reflect a consistent reliance on this contractor for mission-critical security and vetting support, indicating a long-standing, performance-driven partnership rooted in technical specificity and regulatory compliance. She engages with vendors who demonstrate proven expertise in sensitive, high-integrity services required for institutional integrity and program security in fragile environments. Ms. Munoz’s contracting portfolio exhibits no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on selecting the most qualified provider based on technical merit and operational readiness, rather than socioeconomic targeting. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her approach aligns with USAID’s mandate to ensure mission-critical services are delivered with maximum efficiency and risk mitigation. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 561611—Investigation and Personal Background Check Services—underscoring her deep specialization in security vetting, personnel screening, and due diligence support for international development programs. She procures services essential to safeguarding program integrity, ensuring the reliability of local partners, and mitigating fraud risks in high-sensitivity contexts, making her a critical steward of compliance and security in USAID’s global operations.
