Yvette M Feurtado

Yvette M. Feurtado serves as a Contracting Officer for USAID/Colombia (Agency Code: 720514), where she leads the acquisition and award of technical assistance contracts aligned with the agency’s mission of advancing sustainable development and institutional resilience. She manages the full lifecycle of procurements for professional services supporting economic transformation, climate-smart agriculture, and governance innovation, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and USAID’s development objectives. Her portfolio emphasizes performance-based, results-driven contracts that foster local capacity building and long-term partnership with Colombian stakeholders. Feurtado maintains a consistent working relationship with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a key contractor providing strategic advisory and technical implementation services across multiple development domains. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established firms with proven expertise in international development contexts, particularly those capable of delivering cross-sectoral solutions in policy design, institutional strengthening, and data-driven program management. She fosters collaborative, long-term vendor partnerships grounded in accountability, technical rigor, and adaptive management principles. Feurtado’s contracting activity is exclusively non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on selecting the most qualified providers based on technical merit and program alignment, rather than socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through set-asides, her procurements remain accessible to all eligible vendors, with evaluation criteria focused on demonstrated capability and past performance. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services) and NAICS 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services), reflecting her specialization in high-level technical consulting, program evaluation, and institutional capacity-building services. She routinely procures expertise in climate resilience planning, inclusive economic policy design, and public sector accountability mechanisms, ensuring that USAID’s interventions are evidence-based, locally contextualized, and sustainably implemented.
