Stella Alexander-Sergeeff

Stella Alexander-Sergeeff serves as a Contracting 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 aligned with the agency’s global development mission. She manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for professional and technical services that support governance reform, institutional capacity building, and emergency response coordination in partner nations. Her portfolio is exclusively focused on non-construction professional services, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing USAID’s objectives in democratic engagement and public sector strengthening. Stella maintains a primary contracting relationship with AMD International Technologies LLC, a key vendor providing specialized technical assistance and policy advisory services. Her working model emphasizes long-term, performance-based partnerships with firms capable of delivering complex, mission-critical support across diverse international contexts. She engages contractors through competitive solicitations and task order mechanisms, prioritizing quality, scalability, and alignment with USAID’s technical standards. Her contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach to socioeconomic goals, with 33.3% of awards issued under the 8(a) program, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to small business development and disadvantaged entrepreneur participation. The remaining 66.7% are competed without set-aside, reflecting her focus on maximizing competition and value while ensuring compliance with statutory small business targets. Stella’s procurement activity is concentrated entirely within NAICS 541990—All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services—encompassing governance diagnostics, institutional assessment, capacity-building training, and policy analysis. She specializes in acquiring high-level technical expertise to support democratic institutions, electoral systems, and public financial management reforms, making her a critical conduit between USAID’s technical bureaus and the external experts who implement development outcomes on the ground.
