Adam Jung

Adam Jung serves as a Contracting Officer for USAID/South Africa, overseeing the acquisition of professional services critical to advancing sustainable development and humanitarian outcomes across Southern Africa. In this role, he manages the full lifecycle of contracts—from solicitation and evaluation to award and closeout—ensuring alignment with U.S. foreign assistance objectives and federal procurement regulations. His portfolio primarily supports public health resilience, governance strengthening, and environmental conservation initiatives, with a strong emphasis on building local institutional capacity through technical assistance and strategic partnerships. Jung routinely handles complex, performance-based acquisitions requiring deep subject-matter expertise and rigorous compliance with international development standards. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Jung maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse range of professional service providers, including management consultants, technical advisors, and event organizers who deliver mission-critical services under long-term agreements. His contracting approach prioritizes performance outcomes, clear deliverables, and measurable impact, fostering partnerships with firms capable of operating in complex, resource-constrained environments. He works closely with implementers who bring localized knowledge and adaptive management capabilities to ensure program sustainability and stakeholder engagement. Jung’s procurement activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions designated as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a focus on selecting the most qualified offerors regardless of socioeconomic status, consistent with USAID’s emphasis on technical merit and program effectiveness over mandated set-asides. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, he remains committed to fair and transparent competition that enables qualified small firms to compete on an equal footing. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), followed by management consulting (541611), event and convention services (561920), and new single-family housing construction (236115). These categories reflect a blend of technical advisory services, capacity-building programs, community engagement events, and infrastructure support critical to USAID’s development goals in Southern Africa.
