Bakoly Y Ratsimanohatra

Bakoly Y. Ratsimanohatra serves as an HR Specialist with USAID/Madagascar, where she plays a critical role in supporting the agency’s human capital strategy through the procurement of personal services and administrative support contracts. Her work directly enables the agency’s mission of building local institutional capacity in public health, education, and digital innovation by ensuring timely access to qualified technical advisors, training specialists, and administrative support personnel. She manages acquisitions under personal services and general government support categories, focusing on contracts that deliver expert human capital solutions aligned with USAID’s development objectives in Madagascar. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the procurement data, Ratsimanohatra’s portfolio consistently engages a diverse range of service providers, including local Malagasy firms and international consultants with specialized expertise in human resources, organizational development, and capacity building. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for flexible, performance-based agreements that emphasize technical proficiency and cultural competency in delivering services within the Malagasy context. Ratsimanohatra’s procurement activity shows a 100% preference for non-set-aside contracts, indicating a focus on open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This approach prioritizes selecting the most qualified providers based on technical merit and local relevance, aligning with USAID’s emphasis on sustainable, institutionally embedded solutions over temporary assistance models. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 812990 (All Other Personal Services), reflecting her central role in procuring technical advisors and subject matter experts; 921190 (Other General Government Support), encompassing administrative and operational support services; and 561990 and 561110, which cover broad-based support and office administration functions. Her expertise lies in acquiring human-centered services that strengthen local governance and institutional resilience across USAID’s priority sectors.
