Jackie N. Ramanitrera

Jackie T. Ramanitrera serves as an Acquisition Specialist at USAID/Nigeria, where she plays a pivotal role in executing strategic procurement actions that align with the agency’s mission to strengthen governance, public health systems, and sustainable development outcomes. She manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for professional, scientific, and technical services, ensuring compliance with federal regulations and USAID’s performance monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) priorities. Her work directly supports the agency’s emphasis on data-driven program design and institutional capacity building, with a focus on procurements that enhance local ownership and technical resilience across Nigeria’s subnational entities. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the dataset, Jackie consistently engages with a diverse pool of vendors offering high-value professional services, including data analytics, monitoring and evaluation, technical assistance, and institutional strengthening. Her procurement approach emphasizes competitive bidding, transparency, and value-based selection, fostering long-term partnerships with firms capable of delivering complex, context-sensitive solutions in challenging operational environments. Jackie’s contracting portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions classified as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a strategic focus on selecting the most qualified providers based on technical merit and performance capability rather than socioeconomic designations, though she remains compliant with all applicable small business policies and may leverage set-asides on a case-by-case basis when warranted by program needs. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), which encompasses data science, MEL systems, governance advisory, and health systems strengthening services. She also procures support services under NAICS 561990 and 561499, reflecting her expertise in acquiring integrated technical assistance, logistics coordination, and organizational development solutions critical to USAID’s mission in Nigeria.
