FARO Recruitment Team

The FARO Recruitment Team serves as the central procurement function for the Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance (720BHA), managing the acquisition of critical support services that enable rapid humanitarian response and resilience-building operations worldwide. Responsible for end-to-end contract lifecycle management, the team specializes in securing expert advisory services, operational coordination, and program design support essential to the agency’s mission of strengthening global relief systems. Their acquisitions primarily focus on non-operational, mission-enabling functions—including logistics planning, market analysis, and humanitarian system capacity-building—ensuring alignment with USAID’s strategic priorities in crisis-affected regions. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identified in the procurement record, the team engages with a broad spectrum of professional services firms, including international consulting organizations, humanitarian logistics specialists, and technical assistance providers with demonstrated expertise in emergency response frameworks. The team maintains a vendor-agnostic approach, prioritizing technical capability, past performance, and compliance with international humanitarian standards over exclusive partnerships. The FARO Recruitment Team maintains a 100% non-set-aside procurement posture, reflecting the urgency and global scale of humanitarian missions that often require specialized, large-scale expertise not readily available through small business channels. This approach ensures access to the broadest possible pool of qualified providers capable of delivering rapid, scalable solutions under complex operational constraints. Primary acquisitions fall under NAICS 921190—Other General Government Support—encompassing professional and administrative services such as program evaluation, supply chain coordination, and humanitarian policy advisory. The team’s technical domain expertise lies in integrating market-based interventions, optimizing food assistance delivery systems, and enhancing humanitarian logistics architectures, ensuring that procurement decisions directly advance operational effectiveness in high-risk, low-infrastructure environments.
