Theresa L. Williams

Theresa L. Williams serves as an IT Acquisition Specialist within the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), operating under agency code 7200AA. In this role, she leads the planning, solicitation, and award of technical contracts that support global development initiatives, with a focus on strengthening institutional capacity in partner nations. Her acquisitions center on information technology services that enable governance reform, democratic engagement, and emergency response coordination. She manages end-to-end procurement processes for complex IT solutions, ensuring alignment with USAID’s mission of advancing sustainable development through innovative, results-driven contracting. Theresa maintains a primary working relationship with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a key vendor providing specialized IT and capacity-building services. Her procurement patterns reflect a consistent reliance on this contractor for mission-critical technical assistance, particularly in systems integration and digital governance support. While she engages with a limited pool of established vendors, her approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, long-term service delivery, and compliance with federal acquisition regulations. Her relationships are characterized by strategic collaboration rather than transactional procurement, ensuring continuity in complex international programs. Theresa’s contracting portfolio reflects a 100% preference for full and open competition, with no set-asides designated for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic categories. This reflects a deliberate focus on securing specialized technical expertise over socioeconomic targeting, aligning with USAID’s operational need for high-capacity, globally experienced IT service providers. While small business participation is not formally prioritized, her acquisitions remain compliant with all federal requirements for fair competition and market research. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) and 611430 (Professional and Management Development Training), reflecting her expertise in procuring custom software development, data management systems, and leadership training platforms. She specializes in technology-enabled institutional strengthening, including digital governance tools, e-learning systems, and performance monitoring platforms critical to USAID’s international development objectives.
