Mary Belisa Mansilla

Mary Belisa Mansilla serves as a Human Resources Assistant at USAID/Colombia, supporting the agency’s mission to build institutional resilience and sustainable development through strategic human capital planning and administrative procurement. In her role, she facilitates the acquisition of professional and personal services critical to program implementation, ensuring alignment with USAID’s technical assistance priorities in governance, economic growth, and climate resilience. She handles non-construction service contracts requiring specialized expertise in human resources, capacity building, and organizational development, working closely with program officers to define requirements and manage vendor performance across the full acquisition lifecycle. Mansilla maintains a consistent working relationship with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a key contractor providing high-value professional services in support of USAID’s technical programs. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established firms with demonstrated capacity in international development contexts, particularly those offering adaptive management, policy advisory, and training services. While she engages primarily with large, experienced vendors, her work ensures compliance with federal procurement standards and supports the agency’s need for reliable, scalable technical support. Her contracting activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on merit-based selection of vendors with proven technical competence rather than socioeconomic preferences, consistent with USAID’s global operational model that prioritizes performance and expertise over certification-based targeting. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), encompassing consulting, organizational development, and technical training services essential to institutional strengthening. She also procures personal services under NAICS 812990, including specialized staffing for human resources support, community engagement, and administrative coordination. Her domain expertise centers on human capital development and program support services critical to USAID’s long-term capacity-building objectives in Colombia.
