Ahmad K. Al-Tawalbeh

Ahmad K. Al-Tawalbeh serves as a key procurement professional within USAID/Jordan, supporting the agency’s mission to advance water security, infrastructure resilience, and institutional capacity building through strategic acquisitions. He manages a portfolio of technical and IT-related contracts critical to modernizing Jordan’s water management systems, including pipeline monitoring, pump station automation, and data-driven water loss reduction initiatives. His role centers on ensuring compliance with U.S. foreign assistance procurement regulations while aligning acquisitions with USAID’s technical priorities in engineering services and digital infrastructure. He typically handles complex, performance-based contracts for professional consulting, software solutions, and integrated systems deployment. While specific contractor names are not currently available in the procurement record, Al-Tawalbeh’s acquisition patterns indicate consistent engagement with technology vendors and engineering service providers who deliver IT-enabled water management solutions. His working relationships emphasize technical proficiency, local capacity transfer, and adherence to performance metrics, often requiring vendors to demonstrate experience in water sector digitization, SCADA systems, and GIS-based asset management. He collaborates with firms capable of integrating hardware, software, and field engineering services into cohesive, sustainable outcomes. Al-Tawalbeh’s contracting activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of procurements designated as unrestricted. This reflects a prioritization of technical capability and programmatic impact over socioeconomic preferences, though it does not preclude small business participation where firms meet stringent technical requirements. His approach aligns with USAID’s emphasis on results-driven procurement, where vendor qualifications outweigh socioeconomic status in award decisions. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 423430 (computer and peripheral equipment wholesale) and 541519 (other computer-related services), indicating a strong emphasis on procuring water monitoring hardware, data analytics platforms, and software systems for infrastructure management. He also engages with NAICS 519130 firms for digital content and information services related to water governance. His expertise centers on integrating IT systems with physical water infrastructure to enhance operational efficiency and institutional decision-making in resource-constrained environments.
