Alia Hammad

Alia Hammad serves as a key procurement professional within USAID/Jordan, supporting the agency’s mission to enhance water security and infrastructure resilience through strategic contracting. She manages the acquisition of commercial and institutional building construction services critical to water pipeline systems, pump station rehabilitation, and institutional capacity-building projects. Her work directly enables the implementation of sustainable water resource management initiatives by ensuring timely, compliant, and technically sound procurement of construction-related services. Hammad’s portfolio is centered on engineering-driven infrastructure development, requiring close coordination with technical advisors and local implementing partners to align contractual deliverables with USAID’s development objectives. While specific contractor names are not currently available in the procurement record, Hammad engages with a broad spectrum of qualified construction and engineering firms capable of delivering complex infrastructure services under U.S. government standards. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for firms with demonstrated expertise in water infrastructure, civil works, and institutional capacity support, often requiring adherence to international development procurement guidelines and local labor compliance frameworks. She fosters collaborative vendor relationships grounded in performance-based outcomes and technical rigor. Hammad’s acquisition strategy shows no preference for socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of her procurements conducted as full and open competition. This reflects USAID/Jordan’s operational approach of prioritizing technical capability and value over socioeconomic classifications, ensuring the broadest possible pool of qualified contractors competes for contracts based on merit and compliance. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 236220, Commercial and Institutional Building Construction, encompassing the design-build and construction management of water distribution networks, treatment facilities, and associated infrastructure. She specializes in procuring services that integrate civil engineering, hydraulic modeling, and water loss reduction technologies, requiring contractors with proven experience in arid-region infrastructure and resilience-focused construction practices.
