Nicole Butts serves as a key procurement professional within the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), operating under agency code 7200AA, where she manages strategic acquisitions aligned with the agency’s mission to strengthen global governance, institutional capacity, and public sector resilience. She specializes in technical assistance and policy advisory services, overseeing the full lifecycle of contracts for administrative and management consulting solutions that support democratic engagement, institutional reform, and emergency response coordination in partner nations.

Butts maintains a consistent working relationship with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC as her primary contractor, engaging this vendor for comprehensive management consulting services that support institutional design, governance frameworks, and operational efficiency initiatives. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established, high-capacity firms with proven expertise in public sector modernization, and she regularly leverages performance-based contracting methodologies to ensure accountability and measurable outcomes in complex international environments. Her procurement portfolio reflects no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This indicates a strategic focus on selecting the most qualified providers based on technical merit and past performance, rather than socioeconomic classifications, aligning with USAID’s emphasis on mission effectiveness and global scalability over domestic socioeconomic targets.
