Jean Eudson Emmanuel DESROSIERS

Jean Eudson Emmanuel Desrosiers serves as an Acquisition and Assistance Specialist at USAID/Haiti, where they play a pivotal role in executing the agency’s mission to strengthen institutional resilience and sustainable development through strategic procurement of technical assistance and capacity-building services. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of non-procurement instruments and contracts, Desrosiers specializes in securing specialized U.S. and third-country national personal services contractors to deliver on-the-ground expertise in health systems, rule of law, electoral integrity, economic opportunity, and infrastructure development. Their work directly supports USAID’s goal of enhancing Haitian public sector capacity through targeted, performance-driven engagements. Desrosiers collaborates with a diverse range of international and local service providers, including professional consulting firms, engineering firms, and technical assistance organizations, often engaging firms with demonstrated experience in fragile-state contexts. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable, their procurement patterns reflect a preference for contractors with deep subject-matter expertise in governance, public administration, and technical service delivery in low-resource environments. Working relationships are characterized by a focus on performance metrics, compliance with U.S. government standards, and alignment with USAID’s development objectives. Desrosiers’ contracting portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of acquisitions classified as “No Set-Aside,” indicating a primary reliance on merit-based selection rather than socioeconomic set-asides. This approach prioritizes technical capability and proven track record over socioeconomically designated categories, though it does not preclude participation by small or disadvantaged businesses when they meet the required qualifications. The specialist’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), reflecting heavy demand for advisory, monitoring, and evaluation services. Additional emphasis is placed on NAICS 237990 and 238910 for civil engineering and site preparation, as well as 488390 for water transportation support, demonstrating a multidisciplinary approach to infrastructure and technical assistance programming in Haiti’s challenging operational environment.
