Mary G. Herbert

Mary G. Herbert serves as a Program Analyst with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), operating under agency code 7200AA, where she plays a critical role in designing and managing technical assistance acquisitions aligned with global governance and institutional capacity-building priorities. She supports the agency’s mission by overseeing procurement processes for performance-based services that enhance public sector governance, democratic engagement, and emergency response coordination in partner nations. Her acquisitions primarily involve expert consulting, policy advisory services, and technical implementation support, typically structured as personal services contracts under the authority of the Federal Acquisition Regulation. Herbert maintains a consistent working relationship with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a key contractor providing specialized technical expertise in institutional strengthening and governance reform initiatives. Her procurement pattern reflects a preference for established service providers with demonstrated experience in international development contexts, emphasizing performance outcomes over product delivery. She engages vendors through competitive solicitation processes, prioritizing qualified firms with proven track records in complex, multi-country program environments. Herbert’s contracting portfolio shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic alignment with USAID’s global mission, where specialized technical capacity often necessitates access to a narrow pool of internationally experienced providers, regardless of small business status. While small business participation is not formally prioritized, her approach remains compliant with all federal procurement equity requirements. Her primary NAICS classification is 812990 (All Other Personal Services), indicating a deep focus on non-standardized, knowledge-intensive consulting services. She procures expert-level personnel for technical assistance in public administration reform, electoral systems design, anti-corruption frameworks, and civil society engagement—domains requiring high-level analytical and field-based expertise in international development contexts.
