Mark A. Walther

Mark A. Walther serves as Supervisory Contract Specialist at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), Office of Acquisition and Assistance (7200AA), where he oversees the full lifecycle of procurement actions supporting international development initiatives. His role involves leading the planning, solicitation, evaluation, and award of contracts aligned with USAID’s mission to strengthen governance, institutional capacity, and emergency response systems abroad. Walther specializes in administrative and technical support services essential to program implementation, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and agency-specific policies while promoting transparency and efficiency in procurement operations. Walther maintains a primary working relationship with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a key contractor providing office administrative and operational support services critical to USAID’s overseas mission management. His contracting patterns reflect a consistent reliance on a single, high-performing vendor with proven capacity to deliver complex, mission-critical administrative functions across diverse international environments. These partnerships are characterized by long-term, performance-based contract structures designed to ensure continuity, scalability, and accountability in service delivery. Walther’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% no set-aside preference, indicating a strategic focus on full and open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in his acquisition strategy, his approach emphasizes value, reliability, and operational readiness over socioeconomic categorization, aligning with USAID’s need for seamless, large-scale administrative support. His primary procurement focus is on NAICS 561110 (Office Administrative Services), encompassing a broad range of services including clerical support, records management, logistics coordination, and program administration. Walther’s expertise lies in procuring high-volume, low-technical-risk administrative services that underpin USAID’s field operations, ensuring that mission teams have the foundational support necessary to execute complex development programs globally.
