Shirley L. Baldwin

Shirley L. Baldwin serves as a Contracting Officer within the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), operating under agency code 7200AA, where she plays a pivotal role in executing strategic procurements aligned with the agency’s global development mission. She manages the full lifecycle of non-personal services contracts, primarily focused on technical assistance, institutional capacity building, and governance reform initiatives. Her acquisitions support USAID’s efforts to strengthen public sector institutions in partner nations through policy advisory services, democratic engagement programs, and emergency response coordination. Baldwin’s portfolio is characterized by high-complexity, mission-critical contracts requiring deep subject matter expertise in international development frameworks and compliance with federal acquisition regulations. Her primary contractor relationship is with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a trusted vendor providing specialized professional and technical services in support of USAID’s technical assistance initiatives. Baldwin maintains a consistent, long-term contracting pattern with this entity, reflecting a preference for proven performance in delivering institutional strengthening and governance-related outcomes. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, technical proficiency, and alignment with USAID’s strategic objectives, fostering collaborative partnerships grounded in performance-based outcomes rather than transactional engagements. Baldwin’s contracting activity reflects a 100% no set-aside profile, indicating a focus on full and open competition without socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB preferences. This pattern suggests an operational emphasis on selecting the most qualified providers based on technical merit and mission alignment, rather than socioeconomic criteria, consistent with the nature of highly specialized international development services. Her procurement activity is exclusively concentrated under NAICS 541990—All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services—reflecting a deep specialization in non-clinical, advisory-driven services. She procures expertise in governance reform, electoral systems support, public financial management, and policy analysis, requiring contractors with demonstrated experience in international development contexts and multilateral coordination frameworks.
