Shanon Krause

Shanon Krause 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 procurement actions that advance global development objectives. She manages the full lifecycle of complex service 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 services, and capacity-building initiatives, with a focus on professional and management consulting, custom software development, and leadership training. Krause ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while promoting transparency, efficiency, and mission-driven outcomes across her portfolio. Krause maintains a consistent working relationship with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a primary contractor providing high-impact technical services across USAID’s global programs. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established, high-capacity service providers with demonstrated expertise in international development contexts. While she collaborates with a limited number of core vendors, her approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous contract administration, and long-term partnership stability to ensure continuity in complex, multi-year initiatives. Krause’s contracting portfolio reflects a 100% open competition stance, with no set-asides designated for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic categories. This reflects a mission-driven prioritization of technical capability and programmatic impact over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with USAID’s need for specialized, globally experienced service providers capable of operating in high-risk or resource-constrained environments. Her primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), complemented by significant activity in custom computer programming (541511), management consulting (541611), and professional development training (611430). She consistently procures technical services that enhance public sector governance, design digital tools for institutional reform, and deliver leadership training to foreign government counterparts, demonstrating deep expertise in the intersection of development policy and service delivery.
