Ousmane S. Faye

Ousmane S. Faye serves as a Contract Specialist within the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), operating under agency code 7200AA, where he plays a pivotal role in executing strategic procurement actions that advance global development objectives. His responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of contract actions—from requirements determination and market research to solicitation, evaluation, award, and administration—ensuring alignment with FAR regulations and USAID’s mission to strengthen public sector institutions abroad. He primarily manages professional services acquisitions supporting governance reform, institutional capacity building, and emergency response coordination, often involving complex technical and policy advisory services. Faye maintains a consistent working relationship with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a key contractor providing high-level technical assistance and management consulting services. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established firms with demonstrated expertise in international development contexts, though he actively engages a diverse vendor base to ensure competitive, transparent, and compliant procurement outcomes. His approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and outcome-driven deliverables aligned with USAID’s strategic priorities. His set-aside preferences reveal a strong orientation toward open competition, with 94.1% of awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides, reflecting the nature of specialized, mission-critical services requiring broad market capability. Nevertheless, he consistently supports small business participation, with 5.9% of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but intentional commitment to socioeconomic goals. Faye’s procurement focus centers on NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services) and 541611 (Administrative Management Consulting), reflecting his specialization in governance, institutional strengthening, and policy advisory services. He also procures related services under 812990 (Personal Services) and 923120 (Public Health Program Administration), underscoring his technical expertise in supporting public sector reform, democratic engagement, and health system resilience in partner nations.
