Tracey-Ann G McIntosh

Tracey-Ann G. McIntosh serves as a Personnel Specialist with USAID/Jamaica (Agency Code: 720532), where she plays a critical role in supporting the agency’s human capital and technical assistance initiatives. Her responsibilities encompass the procurement and management of professional services related to personnel systems, organizational development, and institutional capacity building. She ensures that acquisitions align with USAID’s mission to strengthen governance, public health systems, and democratic institutions across the Caribbean region. McIntosh typically handles non-construction professional services contracts, focusing on staffing solutions, training programs, and technical advisory services that enhance local institutional resilience and workforce effectiveness. While specific contractor names are not available, McIntosh collaborates with a broad spectrum of professional service providers, including international consulting firms, regional development experts, and local Jamaican and Caribbean-based firms with expertise in public sector reform and health system strengthening. Her working relationships are characterized by a focus on technical competence, cultural competency, and alignment with USAID’s long-term development objectives. She engages vendors through competitive solicitation processes, emphasizing performance-based outcomes and measurable capacity-building deliverables. McIntosh’s procurement portfolio reflects a clear preference for open competition, with 100% of acquisitions issued under the “No Set-Aside” category. This indicates a strategic focus on selecting the most qualified service providers regardless of socioeconomic designation, prioritizing technical merit and programmatic impact over set-aside preferences such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in her portfolio, she adheres to all applicable federal acquisition regulations and promotes fair and open competition. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541990 — All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services — encompassing a wide array of specialized support services including organizational assessments, leadership development, workforce planning, and technical training. She routinely procures expertise in governance reform, HIV/AIDS program management, and institutional strengthening, ensuring that USAID/Jamaica’s interventions are supported by high-caliber, locally responsive professional services.
