Milly Warobi

Milly Warobi serves as an Acquisition Specialist at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) mission in Nairobi, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical procurement actions aligned with U.S. foreign assistance objectives. She manages a diverse portfolio of professional services contracts designed to advance sustainable development, democratic governance, and climate resilience across Kenya and the East African region. Her acquisitions primarily support technical consulting, program implementation, and capacity-building initiatives, requiring rigorous compliance with FAR and USAID’s Acquisition and Assistance Policy. Warobi ensures procurement strategies directly enable USAID’s mission to foster locally led solutions through transparent, competitive, and results-driven contracting. Warobi maintains strong working relationships with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a primary contractor providing high-impact technical and management consulting services. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, leveraging long-term partnerships with firms capable of delivering complex, multi-sector solutions in dynamic operational environments. She routinely engages vendors with proven expertise in public sector reform, health systems strengthening, and market-based development, fostering collaborative relationships grounded in accountability and adaptive management. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 84.6% of awards issued without set-aside designations, indicating a focus on merit-based selection of the most qualified providers. However, she consistently reserves 15.4% of opportunities for Local Area Set-Asides under FAR 26.2, promoting regional economic participation and building local institutional capacity. While not primarily focused on 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her work supports broader socioeconomic goals through geographic and capacity-building incentives. Warobi’s procurement focus centers on NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), with significant activity in management consulting (541618 and 541611) and technical advisory services (541690). She specializes in acquiring services related to governance strengthening, private sector development, electoral integrity, and climate adaptation, ensuring contracts are aligned with USAID’s technical priorities and performance monitoring frameworks.
