Abdus Sobhan Khan

Abdus Sobhan Khan serves as a Human Resources Assistant with USAID/Bangladesh, supporting the agency’s mission to strengthen institutional capacity and foster sustainable development through strategic human capital management. In this role, he facilitates the procurement of personal services contracts essential to staffing technical assistance programs, capacity-building initiatives, and field-based operations across agriculture, governance, and urban resilience sectors. His responsibilities include coordinating solicitation processes, evaluating vendor qualifications, and ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations for non-construction services. Khan primarily handles acquisitions under the category of professional and administrative support services, enabling USAID to deploy subject matter experts and local implementation staff critical to program delivery. Khan maintains a consistent working relationship with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a key contractor providing specialized human resources, training, and organizational development services. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with demonstrated expertise in delivering tailored human capital solutions in complex development environments. These partnerships are characterized by long-term engagement, performance-based evaluations, and alignment with USAID’s emphasis on local capacity building and sustainable institutional outcomes. Khan’s procurement activity shows no reliance on socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on selecting the most qualified service providers regardless of business size or certification status, prioritizing technical competence and programmatic impact over socioeconomic preferences. His acquisitions are exclusively classified under NAICS 812990 (All Other Personal Services), indicating a narrow specialization in procuring non-clinical, non-manufacturing personal services such as consulting, training, administrative support, and technical assistance. These services directly enable USAID’s field operations by staffing project teams with local and international experts in governance, economic development, and community resilience programming.
