Christine Dwulet

Christine Dwulet serves as a Contract Specialist with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) in Central Asia/Kazakhstan, where she plays a pivotal role in executing procurements that advance U.S. foreign assistance goals in governance, health, education, and economic development. She manages the full lifecycle of non-personal services contracts, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and USAID’s mission-driven priorities. Her work supports technical advisory initiatives designed to build institutional capacity and promote locally led, sustainable solutions across Kazakhstan and the broader Central Asian region. Dwulet specializes in professional services acquisitions that require deep subject-matter expertise and adaptive implementation approaches. Her contractor relationships are primarily with professional service providers offering strategic consulting, program design, and technical implementation support. She engages with a diverse pool of U.S.-based and international firms qualified to deliver high-level analytical, capacity-building, and systems-strengthening services. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, her procurement patterns reflect a preference for firms with demonstrated experience in public sector reform, economic resilience, and nutrition programming. She fosters collaborative, performance-based partnerships that emphasize accountability, innovation, and alignment with host-country priorities. Dwulet’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of her awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects USAID’s operational model in Kazakhstan, which prioritizes global competitiveness and technical excellence over socioeconomic set-asides. While she does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her approach ensures that all vendors—regardless of size or certification—are evaluated on merit, technical capability, and alignment with mission objectives. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services) and 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), encompassing expert advisory services in public administration, enterprise development, and health systems strengthening. She routinely procures technical assistance for policy reform, institutional training, data-driven decision-making, and cross-sectoral program integration, reflecting a strong domain expertise in complex, multi-stakeholder development engagements.
