Claudia M. Enriquez

Claudia M. Enriquez serves as a Senior Contracts Specialist for USAID/West Bank and Gaza, where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex procurement actions that support the agency’s mission of sustainable development and humanitarian stability. She manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions—from market research and solicitation to contract award and administration—focusing on civil works, technical assistance, and infrastructure rehabilitation projects. Her work ensures compliance with FAR and USAID’s streamlined acquisition procedures, enabling timely delivery of critical services in a high-risk operating environment. She routinely handles mixed-source contracts for professional services, construction, and specialized equipment procurement. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Claudia maintains strategic partnerships with a diverse pool of vendors, including international engineering firms, local implementing partners, and technical consultants with deep regional expertise. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for performance-based, results-driven agreements that emphasize accountability and adaptive management. She works closely with contractors to ensure alignment with USAID’s standards for transparency, local capacity building, and compliance with U.S. government procurement regulations. Claudia’s set-aside preferences demonstrate a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately 16.7% of her acquisitions designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. Though the majority of her awards are unrestricted, she consistently prioritizes socioeconomic programs that enhance local economic resilience, often leveraging small business set-asides to empower regional enterprises and promote inclusive growth. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 541618 (management consulting), 541990 (professional technical services), and 423810 (construction machinery and equipment wholesale), reflecting her specialization in institutional capacity building, infrastructure engineering support, and technical procurement for water and sanitation systems. She frequently procures services related to urban rehabilitation, utility infrastructure, and governance strengthening, demonstrating deep domain expertise in complex, mission-critical development environments.
