Erin G McKee

Erin G. McKee serves as a Regional Contracting Officer for USAID/West Bank and Gaza, where she leads the acquisition and management of technical assistance and civil works contracts critical to advancing sustainable development and humanitarian stability in a complex operational environment. Her portfolio centers on professional, scientific, and technical services that support infrastructure rehabilitation, water and sanitation systems, and institutional capacity building. McKee ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with USAID’s strategic goals of economic resilience and good governance, often navigating high-stakes, politically sensitive contracting scenarios unique to the region. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, McKee maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse array of international and local service providers, including engineering consultants, technical advisors, and implementation partners with demonstrated expertise in post-conflict recovery and institutional development. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous oversight, and adaptive management to meet evolving field conditions, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in transparency and accountability. McKee consistently prioritizes small business participation, with 25% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of her contracts are open competition, her commitment to socioeconomic inclusion is evident in the deliberate inclusion of small businesses capable of delivering specialized technical services in challenging environments. She actively encourages eligibility verification and supports small business capacity-building initiatives aligned with USAID’s broader development objectives. Her procurement focus is exclusively on NAICS 541990—All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services—encompassing engineering design, monitoring and evaluation, governance advisory, and infrastructure project management. McKee’s expertise lies in procuring non-construction technical services that enable institutional strengthening and community-level resilience, requiring deep domain knowledge in development economics, humanitarian response, and international project delivery frameworks.
