Craig Riegler

Craig Riegler serves as a Regional Contracting Officer for USAID/Cambodia (720442), where he leads the acquisition and contract management of technical assistance and development services aligned with the agency’s mission of fostering sustainable institutional resilience and local ownership. He oversees the full lifecycle of procurements—from market research and solicitation to award and closeout—ensuring compliance with federal regulations and USAID’s development objectives. His portfolio primarily supports capacity-building initiatives in civil society, education, health communication, and environmental conservation, with a strong emphasis on performance-based contracting and local partner engagement. Riegler works closely with a diverse array of professional service providers, including international consulting firms, local Cambodian NGOs, and technical advisory firms specializing in development programming. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for long-term, performance-driven partnerships that prioritize adaptive management and measurable outcomes. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently engages vendors capable of delivering context-specific, culturally grounded solutions that align with USAID’s principles of localization and sustainability. Mr. Riegler’s procurement strategy shows no reliance on socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of his acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects USAID/Cambodia’s operational model, which prioritizes technical merit and local relevance over formal socioeconomic classifications, while still encouraging broad participation from qualified domestic and international entities. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), encompassing technical advisory services, monitoring and evaluation, and institutional strengthening. He also frequently procures commercial and institutional construction (236220) and environmental remediation services (562910), demonstrating expertise in integrating infrastructure development with community-based programming. His domain knowledge spans development economics, public health systems, and environmental sustainability, making him a key liaison between technical programs and acquisition execution.
