Samantha Lee Corey

Samantha Lee Corey serves as a Contract Specialist within the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), under agency code 7200AA, where she plays a pivotal role in executing strategic procurement actions that advance global development objectives. She manages the full lifecycle of professional services contracts, ensuring alignment with USAID’s mission to strengthen institutional capacity, governance, and economic resilience in partner nations. Her acquisitions primarily support technical assistance, policy advisory, and institutional reform initiatives, requiring deep familiarity with federal acquisition regulations and performance-based contracting methodologies. Corey ensures compliance with statutory requirements while optimizing value and outcomes for international development programs. Her primary contractor relationship is with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a trusted vendor delivering specialized professional and technical services in support of USAID’s governance and institutional strengthening initiatives. Corey fosters collaborative, long-term partnerships with this contractor, emphasizing performance metrics, deliverable-based milestones, and adaptive management frameworks. Her contracting approach reflects a preference for established, high-performing service providers capable of delivering complex, multi-year technical assistance across diverse geopolitical contexts. Corey’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% no set-aside preference, indicating a focus on open competition and best-value outcomes rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While she does not prioritize designated small business categories, her process remains fully compliant with federal socioeconomic contracting requirements, ensuring transparency and fairness in all award decisions. Her work is concentrated under NAICS code 541990, encompassing all other professional, scientific, and technical services, with a distinct emphasis on governance reform, democratic engagement, and emergency response coordination. She procures high-level consulting services, capacity-building programs, and policy analysis support—domains requiring subject-matter expertise in public administration, institutional development, and international policy frameworks.
