Patrick Mudd

Patrick Mudd serves as a Contracting Officer for the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), operating under agency code 7200AA, where he leads the acquisition of professional, scientific, and technical services critical to advancing global development objectives. He manages the full lifecycle of contracts supporting governance reform, institutional capacity building, and policy advisory initiatives in partner nations. His portfolio primarily consists of performance-based, results-driven procurements aligned with USAID’s mission to strengthen public sector institutions and promote democratic resilience. Mudd ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while prioritizing strategic alignment with USAID’s technical priorities in international development. Mudd maintains a consistent working relationship with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a primary contractor providing specialized technical assistance and advisory services across multiple global programs. His procurement approach emphasizes long-term, mission-critical partnerships with firms possessing deep expertise in institutional strengthening, electoral support, and public administration reform. He engages vendors through competitive sealed bidding and negotiated acquisitions, favoring contractors with demonstrated experience in complex, multi-country environments and robust performance management systems. Mudd’s contracting patterns reflect a strict preference for full and open competition, with 100% of his awards issued under no set-aside classifications. This reflects a strategic decision to prioritize technical capability and programmatic impact over socioeconomic set-asides, aligning with USAID’s need for specialized, high-performance service providers capable of operating in high-risk or resource-constrained environments. While small business participation is not formally targeted in his portfolio, all procurements remain compliant with FAR requirements and are evaluated on merit and technical excellence. His primary focus is on NAICS 541990—All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services—encompassing policy analysis, governance diagnostics, capacity assessments, and technical training services. He procures expertise in democratic governance, public financial management, and emergency response coordination, relying on contractors with proven experience in adaptive program design and results-based monitoring frameworks within international development contexts.
