Bader Kassab

Bader Kassab serves as a Project Management Specialist at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), operating under agency code 7200AA, where he plays a pivotal role in managing technical assistance acquisitions aligned with international development objectives. His responsibilities include overseeing the full lifecycle of procurement actions for institutional capacity-building initiatives, governance reform programs, and emergency response infrastructure projects. Kassab ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning contracting strategies with USAID’s mission to strengthen public sector institutions abroad. He routinely handles complex service-based acquisitions requiring specialized technical expertise, particularly in infrastructure support and policy advisory services. Kassab maintains a primary working relationship with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a contractor frequently engaged to deliver integrated technical solutions supporting USAID’s field operations. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for established contractors with proven experience in international development contexts, often selecting vendors capable of delivering multi-disciplinary services across governance, economic resilience, and emergency response domains. His engagements are characterized by long-term, performance-based contract structures that emphasize outcomes over outputs. Kassab’s contracting portfolio shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on technical capability and programmatic alignment rather than socioeconomic preferences, prioritizing mission-critical delivery over mandated small business participation criteria. His procurement focus is concentrated in two primary NAICS categories: 532412 (Construction, Mining, and Forestry Machinery and Equipment Rental and Leasing) and 541310 (Architectural Services), indicating a strong emphasis on physical infrastructure support and design services for development projects. He specializes in procuring equipment leasing for field operations and architectural planning for institutional facilities, demonstrating expertise in both technical engineering and institutional development domains.
