Mike E. Atsalinos

Mike E. Atsalinos serves as a Contracting 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 global development objectives. His portfolio centers on procurement activities supporting governance reform, democratic engagement, and emergency response coordination in partner nations. He exercises full contracting authority under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, overseeing the full lifecycle of service-based contracts—from market research and solicitation to award and performance monitoring—ensuring alignment with USAID’s mission of strengthening public sector institutions abroad. Atsalinos maintains a consistent working relationship with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a primary contractor providing specialized technical services in institutional development and policy advisory. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established, experienced vendors capable of delivering complex, mission-critical support across diverse international environments. He engages primarily with firms possessing proven expertise in international development, governance, and institutional strengthening, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in performance accountability and compliance with U.S. government standards. His procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on selecting the most qualified providers regardless of socioeconomic status, prioritizing technical capability and operational readiness over socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in his portfolio, all acquisitions remain compliant with FAR requirements for fair and transparent competition. Atsalinos specializes in procuring professional services related to public administration reform, electoral systems support, civil society engagement, and crisis response coordination. His acquisitions typically fall under NAICS categories associated with management consulting, international development services, and technical training, requiring deep domain expertise in governance frameworks and institutional diagnostics. His work demands a nuanced understanding of international development contexts and the ability to structure contracts that ensure sustainable outcomes in complex, high-risk environments.
