Andrew Reese

Andrew Reese serves as Executive Officer at USAID/Cambodia, providing strategic leadership over the agency’s procurement operations to advance sustainable development objectives in Cambodia. In this capacity, he oversees the planning, solicitation, and award of contracts aligned with USAID’s mission of strengthening civil society, improving health and education outcomes, and promoting environmental conservation. His role ensures that acquisition activities are compliant with federal regulations and aligned with local ownership principles, emphasizing technical advisory services and capacity-building initiatives. Reese typically manages personal services contracts that engage subject matter experts, local implementers, and technical consultants to deliver on-the-ground development outcomes. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, Reese’s procurement patterns reflect a reliance on a broad spectrum of service providers specializing in development consulting, community engagement, and institutional strengthening. His office collaborates with both international and local firms, prioritizing vendors with demonstrated expertise in Cambodian contexts and culturally responsive program delivery. Contractual partnerships are typically performance-based, emphasizing measurable impact and adaptive management over fixed deliverables. Reese’s office maintains a 100% non-set-aside contracting approach, indicating a preference for open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This reflects a strategic focus on selecting the most qualified providers based on technical merit and local relevance, rather than socioeconomic criteria. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through set-asides, the agency’s operational model inherently supports local Cambodian firms through direct engagement and capacity-building. The agency’s procurement activity is exclusively concentrated under NAICS 812990 (All Other Personal Services), underscoring a specialization in contracting for expert consulting, technical assistance, and customized advisory services. These include training facilitators, public health communicators, environmental analysts, and governance advisors—professionals who deliver tailored, context-specific interventions to build institutional resilience and empower local stakeholders.
