Janine Scott

Janine Scott serves as a key procurement professional within USAID/Nigeria, supporting the agency’s mission to strengthen governance, public health systems, and sustainable development outcomes through strategic acquisition of technical services. She manages the full lifecycle of contracts aligned with institutional capacity building, data-driven program design, and performance monitoring and evaluation (MEL) frameworks. Her acquisitions primarily support technical assistance in health systems strengthening, subnational governance, and data science initiatives, ensuring that U.S. foreign assistance is delivered through evidence-based, locally led solutions. She works closely with program officers and monitoring teams to align contracting strategies with USAID’s development objectives and compliance requirements. While specific contractor names are not publicly identifiable in current records, Scott engages with a diverse pool of professional service providers experienced in international development, including firms specializing in MEL systems, health informatics, and governance diagnostics. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for long-term, performance-based partnerships with consultants and technical service providers who bring deep sectoral expertise and adaptive management capabilities. She prioritizes contract vehicles that enable rapid mobilization of specialized talent while ensuring accountability and transparency in implementation. Scott’s procurement activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under open, unrestricted competitions. This reflects a strategic emphasis on merit-based selection of the most qualified technical partners, regardless of business size or certification status. While small business participation is not formally incentivized through set-asides, her portfolio remains open to qualified small and medium-sized enterprises that demonstrate proven capacity in development service delivery. Her primary focus lies in NAICS 541990—All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services—encompassing consulting, data analysis, evaluation, and technical advisory services. She procures expertise in health data systems, governance assessments, behavioral change communication, and adaptive program management, ensuring that USAID/Nigeria’s interventions are grounded in rigorous analysis and local context.
