Sean Searcie

Sean Searcie serves as a Procurement Agent for USAID/Colombia, responsible for managing the acquisition of professional and technical services that support the agency’s mission of advancing sustainable development and institutional resilience. He plays a critical role in executing competitive procurement processes aligned with federal acquisition regulations and USAID’s development objectives, ensuring that contracts deliver high-impact technical assistance, policy advisory services, and cross-sectoral program design. His portfolio primarily encompasses performance-based acquisitions for consulting, capacity building, and systems innovation in areas such as climate-smart agriculture, inclusive economic growth, and governance reform. Searcie maintains a consistent working relationship with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a key contractor providing specialized technical expertise in program evaluation, institutional strengthening, and data-driven policy analysis. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for established, mission-aligned service providers with demonstrated experience in international development contexts, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in performance accountability and adaptive management. Searcie’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on selecting the most qualified technical partners regardless of socioeconomic status, prioritizing capability and track record over preference programs. While small business participation is not formally targeted, his acquisitions remain accessible to all eligible vendors through transparent, merit-based solicitation processes. His primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541990—All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services—encompassing a broad spectrum of advisory, analytical, and implementation support services. He routinely procures expertise in monitoring and evaluation, economic modeling, environmental sustainability planning, and public sector reform, demonstrating deep technical domain knowledge in development economics and institutional capacity building.
