Michael Aguilar

Michael Aguilar serves as a key procurement professional within the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), operating under agency code 7200AA, where he supports the agency’s mission to strengthen international governance, democratic institutions, and public sector capacity. He manages complex acquisition processes for technical assistance and institutional development services, focusing on policy advisory, capacity-building programs, and emergency response coordination. His portfolio centers on professional services contracts that enable USAID to deliver sustainable development outcomes in partner nations, often involving long-term, performance-based agreements with specialized international and domestic firms. Aguilar maintains a primary working relationship with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a contractor frequently engaged to deliver governance reform support, electoral system strengthening, and public administration modernization services. His procurement pattern reflects a preference for established, experienced service providers with demonstrated expertise in international development contexts, indicating a reliance on firms with deep sectoral knowledge rather than broad-based generalists. Collaborations are typically structured as task orders under indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts, emphasizing technical rigor and measurable impact. His 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 selecting the most technically qualified providers regardless of business size or certification status, consistent with USAID’s global mission requiring specialized, often non-domestic, expertise. While small business participation is not prioritized through set-asides, his approach aligns with agency-wide directives to ensure programmatic effectiveness over socioeconomic targets. Aguilar’s acquisitions are exclusively classified under NAICS 921190—Other General Government Support—indicating a narrow but deep specialization in high-level public sector advisory services. He procures technical assistance in institutional governance, rule of law, civil society engagement, and public financial management, often requiring subject matter experts with field experience in fragile or transitioning states. His domain expertise lies in designing and managing performance-driven contracts for complex, multi-year international development interventions.
