Abibou Oussantidja

Abibou Oussantidja serves as a Contract/Agreement Specialist within the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), operating under agency code 7200AA. In this role, they manage the full lifecycle of non-construction acquisitions aligned with USAID’s mission to strengthen international governance, economic resilience, and public sector capacity. Abibou specializes in procuring technical consulting services, policy advisory support, and institutional development solutions, ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and U.S. foreign assistance objectives. Their work directly supports USAID’s strategic priorities in democratic engagement, emergency response coordination, and governance reform through competitively awarded agreements with domestic and international vendors. Abibou maintains a consistent working relationship with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a primary contractor providing specialized technical assistance in institutional capacity building and program management. Their procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, with a preference for firms demonstrating proven expertise in international development contexts. Vendor partnerships are typically structured as indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts or task orders under broad agency-wide mechanisms, ensuring flexibility in responding to evolving program needs across multiple countries. Set-aside preferences reflect a strong orientation toward open competition, with 87.5% of acquisitions conducted without socioeconomic set-asides. However, Abibou consistently allocates 12.5% of awards to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured commitment to small business participation without compromising programmatic urgency or technical rigor. This balance ensures broad market access while maintaining the quality and scalability required for complex international engagements. Their procurement portfolio is heavily concentrated in professional and scientific services, with primary focus on NAICS 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services) and 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services). These categories encompass governance diagnostics, electoral systems support, public financial management advisory, and organizational development consulting. Abibou’s domain expertise lies in securing high-impact, evidence-based technical services that enable sustainable institutional transformation in partner nations.
