OFDA PSC Contracts Team

The OFDA PSC Contracts Team serves as the principal procurement unit within the U.S. Agency for International Development’s Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance, responsible for managing full-life-cycle acquisitions to support global emergency response and resilience-building initiatives. They execute contracts under the broader mission of strengthening international governance and institutional capacity, with a focus on rapid deployment of technical assistance, logistics coordination, and policy advisory services in crisis-affected regions. Their portfolio consists primarily of professional services contracts aligned with general government support functions, ensuring timely and compliant acquisition of mission-critical capabilities in complex, high-stakes operational environments. The team maintains a consistent working relationship with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a key contractor providing specialized technical and operational support for disaster response programs. Their procurement pattern reflects a reliance on established, high-capacity vendors with demonstrated experience in international humanitarian operations, emergency logistics, and institutional strengthening services. While the team engages primarily with large, experienced firms, their contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, stringent compliance, and mission alignment over socioeconomic preferences. The OFDA PSC Contracts Team does not utilize any socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic prioritization of speed, scalability, and proven capability in emergency contexts, where mission urgency and global operational complexity necessitate access to a broad pool of qualified vendors rather than targeted small business participation. Their primary procurement activity falls under NAICS 921190 — Other General Government Support — encompassing services such as program management, technical advisory, monitoring and evaluation, and emergency response coordination. They procure expert-level consulting, field-based operational support, and institutional capacity-building services tailored to fragile and conflict-affected states, demonstrating deep expertise in humanitarian logistics, governance reform, and cross-border program implementation.
