Michael A. Clark

Michael A. Clark serves as a Contract Officer for the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), operating under agency code 7200AA, where he manages the acquisition of technical assistance and institutional capacity-building services critical to international development missions. In this role, he executes full lifecycle contracting for complex, performance-based procurements aligned with USAID’s strategic priorities in governance reform, democratic engagement, and emergency response coordination. His portfolio primarily consists of professional and technical services contracts designed to strengthen public sector institutions in partner nations, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and agency-specific development objectives. Clark maintains a consistent working relationship with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a key contractor providing specialized technical and management consulting services. His contracting patterns reflect long-term, performance-driven partnerships with vendors capable of delivering high-level advisory support, systems design, and institutional strengthening interventions. While he engages with a range of vendors, his approach emphasizes mission alignment, technical rigor, and sustained performance over transactional procurement. His set-aside preferences are heavily skewed toward open competition, with 92% of awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides. The remaining 8% are distributed between 8(a) competed and total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a selective but intentional commitment to small business participation when market conditions and technical requirements align. He prioritizes capability over socioeconomic status, ensuring awards reflect the highest technical merit while still supporting small business goals where feasible. Clark’s procurement focus centers on NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), with significant activity in administrative management consulting (541611) and computer systems design (541512). He routinely acquires services related to governance systems, digital infrastructure, policy analysis, and institutional diagnostics, demonstrating deep expertise in technical advisory procurement for international development contexts.
