Michael A. Kozar

Michael A. Kozar serves as a PSC Recruiter for the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), operating under agency code 7200AA, where he plays a critical role in staffing and workforce acquisition for technical assistance and institutional capacity-building initiatives. His responsibilities include identifying, sourcing, and contracting qualified personnel to support USAID’s global governance, democratic engagement, and emergency response programs. Kozar manages a portfolio of professional services acquisitions centered on public sector strengthening, policy advisory, and institutional development, ensuring alignment with USAID’s mission to enhance international governance through skilled human capital deployment. Kozar maintains a primary working relationship with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a key contractor providing specialized technical and administrative support services for USAID’s overseas missions. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established firms with demonstrated expertise in international development programming, often engaging vendors capable of delivering rapid-response staffing solutions and long-term technical advisory teams. These partnerships are characterized by sustained engagement, performance-based deliverables, and compliance with federal acquisition regulations for personal services contracts. Kozar’s procurement activity shows no reliance on socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on merit-based selection of the most qualified personnel rather than socioeconomic preferences, aligning with USAID’s need for specialized, mission-critical expertise in high-stakes international environments. His primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 921190—Other General Government Support—encompassing professional services such as governance advisory, institutional assessment, capacity building, and technical assistance for foreign public sector entities. Kozar specializes in acquiring subject matter experts in public administration, electoral systems, rule of law, and crisis response, ensuring USAID’s field operations are supported by highly qualified, internationally experienced personnel.
