Peggy L. Manthe

Peggy L. Manthe serves as a Contract Specialist within the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), operating under agency code 7200AA, where she plays a pivotal role in executing strategic procurements that advance global development objectives. She manages the full lifecycle of complex service contracts aligned with USAID’s mission to strengthen public sector institutions, promote democratic governance, and support economic resilience in partner nations. Her portfolio primarily encompasses professional and technical services requiring deep subject-matter expertise, including policy advisory, institutional capacity building, and program management support. Manthe ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurement decisions with USAID’s strategic priorities in international development. Her primary contractor relationships center on AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a trusted partner delivering high-impact technical assistance and management consulting services. Manthe cultivates long-term, performance-based vendor partnerships characterized by rigorous oversight, outcome-driven deliverables, and consistent adherence to programmatic goals. These collaborations are typically structured as task-order or indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts, enabling agile responses to evolving field conditions and diplomatic priorities across multiple regions. Manthe’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued without set-aside designations. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her approach emphasizes merit-based selection grounded in technical merit, past performance, and organizational capacity, ensuring the highest quality of service delivery for complex international programs. Her procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), reflecting her specialization in multidisciplinary technical assistance, governance reform, and institutional strengthening. She also regularly procures administrative management consulting services (NAICS 541611) and education program administration services (NAICS 923110), demonstrating expertise in both policy implementation and public sector capacity development.
