Michael Glimp

Michael Glimp serves as a key procurement professional within the Millennium Challenge Corporation, supporting the agency’s mission to drive economic growth and poverty reduction through results-oriented development investments. He manages a portfolio of complex, performance-based acquisitions focused on professional and technical services critical to institutional capacity building, public financial management, and sustainable infrastructure development in low-income partner nations. His work centers on ensuring compliance with U.S. foreign assistance objectives while adhering to federal acquisition regulations, with a strong emphasis on outcome-driven contracting and rigorous performance monitoring. Glimp maintains longstanding relationships with a core group of high-performing contractors including TCG Inc., Norda Stelo Inc., DT Global Inc., Mathematica Inc., and 1901 Group, LLC. These partnerships are characterized by long-term, task-order-based engagements that require deep technical expertise in development programming, data analytics, and institutional reform. His contracting approach prioritizes firms with proven experience in international development contexts, emphasizing performance history, technical innovation, and adaptive management capabilities. His procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 94.7% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions. While small business participation is limited to 5.3% of total awards—primarily through Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5—his approach remains aligned with MCC’s mandate to secure the highest-quality services to achieve measurable development outcomes, even when small business participation is not the primary driver. Glimp’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), encompassing a broad range of technical consulting, monitoring and evaluation, economic policy analysis, and systems design services. He also regularly procures engineering services, administrative management consulting, and data analytics solutions, reflecting the agency’s multidisciplinary approach to development programming and evidence-based decision-making.
