Farah Khalili

Farah Khalili serves as a key procurement professional within USAID/Jordan, supporting the agency’s mission to advance water security, infrastructure resilience, and institutional capacity building through strategic acquisition of technical and professional services. She manages the solicitation and award of contracts for engineering consulting, water system rehabilitation, and institutional strengthening initiatives, ensuring alignment with U.S. foreign assistance objectives. Her work centers on securing high-impact, results-driven services that enhance Jordan’s water governance and operational efficiency, particularly in pipeline infrastructure, pump station modernization, and water loss reduction programs. Khalili collaborates with a diverse range of international and local service providers, including engineering firms, water resource consultants, and technical training organizations. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, her procurement pattern reflects a preference for experienced, vetted professionals with demonstrated expertise in water infrastructure and public sector capacity development. She fosters long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical rigor, compliance with U.S. foreign assistance standards, and performance-based contract management. Khalili’s procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on selecting the most qualified providers globally, regardless of socioeconomic status, to ensure technical excellence and value for U.S. development investments. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through set-asides, she maintains compliance with all applicable federal acquisition regulations and encourages broad, transparent competition. Her primary focus lies in NAICS 812990 (All Other Personal Services), encompassing specialized engineering consulting, water resource management, and institutional advisory services. She routinely procures technical expertise in hydraulic modeling, infrastructure asset management, and training for local water authorities, demonstrating deep domain knowledge in sustainable water systems and public sector institutional strengthening.
