Aman S. Djahanbani

Aman Belinda Y Djahanbani serves as a Regional Contracting Officer for USAID/Jordan, responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions that advance the agency’s mission in water security, infrastructure resilience, and institutional capacity building. She oversees the acquisition of professional, scientific, and technical services critical to water resource management, including pipeline construction, pump station rehabilitation, and water loss reduction initiatives. Her portfolio emphasizes performance-based contracting and results-driven deliverables, ensuring alignment with USAID’s development objectives and compliance with federal acquisition regulations. She plays a pivotal role in translating technical requirements into enforceable contract statements of work that support sustainable development outcomes in Jordan. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Aman maintains strategic relationships with a diverse range of domestic and international service providers specializing in engineering consulting, water infrastructure design, and institutional capacity development. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for long-term, performance-based partnerships with firms capable of delivering complex technical solutions under challenging operational environments. She routinely engages contractors with proven expertise in water systems engineering, environmental compliance, and local governance support, fostering collaboration that builds local technical ownership. Aman’s procurement approach is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize technical quality and value for U.S. taxpayer resources, prioritizing merit-based selection over socioeconomic set-asides. While she does not utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB preferences, her processes remain transparent and competitive, ensuring broad market access for qualified vendors. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), encompassing management consulting, engineering services, and technical advisory support. She also procures water and sewer line construction (541420), industrial design services (541420), and personal services (812990) to support on-the-ground implementation. Her domain expertise centers on integrated water resource management, infrastructure rehabilitation, and institutional strengthening through evidence-based contracting.
