Sandra Savage

Sandra Savage serves as a Contracting Officer for USAID/Indonesia (Agency Code: 720497), where she leads the acquisition and management of technical assistance and professional services critical to advancing U.S. development objectives in Indonesia. Her portfolio centers on strengthening governance, health systems, environmental resilience, and disaster preparedness through strategic partnerships with local institutions and global experts. She manages complex, performance-based contracts under FAR Part 12 and Part 37, primarily procuring non-personal services that require high levels of technical expertise and adaptive implementation in dynamic operational environments. Savage collaborates with a diverse array of international and local service providers, including consulting firms, research institutions, and technical assistance contractors with deep regional experience. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for firms capable of delivering cross-sectoral, evidence-based solutions aligned with USAID’s mission, often involving multi-year, performance-driven task orders. She maintains professional, compliance-focused relationships with vendors who demonstrate strong capacity for local engagement, monitoring and evaluation expertise, and adherence to U.S. government accountability standards. Her procurement strategy prioritizes open competition, with 90.9% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides, reflecting a focus on technical merit and global competitiveness. However, she consistently supports small business participation, allocating 9.1% of awards to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a balanced commitment to both efficiency and socioeconomic inclusion. Savage’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), encompassing management consulting, monitoring and evaluation, capacity building, and technical advisory services. She also procures specialized services under NAICS 541618 (Other Management Consulting Services) and 323117 (Books Printing), reflecting her role in supporting knowledge products, training materials, and institutional documentation essential to USAID’s program delivery and public engagement goals.
