Noemi Edwards

Noemi Edwards serves as a key procurement lead within the Peace Corps Office of Administrative and Corporate Management (OACM), overseeing the acquisition of mission-critical services that sustain global operations and ensure volunteer readiness. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts aligned with the agency’s core priorities: safeguarding volunteer health and safety, enhancing workforce capacity through professional development, and maintaining secure digital infrastructure. Her acquisitions span third-party administrative services, ambulatory health care support, and custom software solutions, all designed to enable efficient, compliant, and resilient operations across international field sites. Edwards ensures alignment with federal acquisition regulations while prioritizing operational continuity and risk mitigation in high-stakes environments. Her primary contractor relationship is with Biometrics4All, Inc., a specialized vendor providing biometric identification and background investigation services critical to volunteer vetting and security protocols. Edwards fosters long-term, performance-based partnerships with vendors who deliver high-integrity, compliance-driven solutions, often requiring rigorous data privacy and cross-border operational standards. She engages contractors through competitive solicitation processes, emphasizing technical capability, past performance, and adherence to federal security requirements. Edwards’ procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards awarded under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on accessing specialized, niche expertise rather than socioeconomic set-asides, prioritizing capability and mission alignment over socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in her portfolio, all vendors are evaluated on merit, transparency, and delivery reliability. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 524292 for pharmacy benefit and third-party administration services, 621999 for specialized ambulatory health care support, and 541511 for custom computer programming. These reflect her expertise in procuring integrated health management systems, telehealth enablement tools, and secure, mission-specific software applications that support real-time data exchange and personnel readiness across decentralized global operations.
