Josephine E. Udomi

Josephine E. Udomi serves as a Personnel Specialist at USAID/Nigeria, where she plays a critical role in supporting the agency’s human capital and institutional capacity-building initiatives. Her responsibilities include managing personnel-related acquisitions that align with USAID’s mission to strengthen governance, public health systems, and sustainable development outcomes in Nigeria. She specializes in procuring professional services that enhance workforce development, organizational effectiveness, and performance monitoring and evaluation (MEL) systems, ensuring that staffing and technical support contracts directly advance programmatic goals through evidence-based, locally led solutions. While specific contractor names are not publicly available, Josephine consistently engages with a diverse pool of professional services vendors specializing in human resource management, organizational development, and administrative support. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for firms with demonstrated expertise in public sector capacity building, particularly those offering tailored consulting and technical assistance in personnel systems, data-driven workforce planning, and institutional resilience. She fosters collaborative, long-term vendor relationships grounded in compliance, performance accountability, and alignment with U.S. foreign assistance priorities. Josephine’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on selecting the most qualified providers based on technical merit and programmatic fit, rather than socioeconomic preferences. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her evaluations consistently emphasize organizational capacity, past performance, and local engagement as key selection criteria. Her procurement portfolio is heavily concentrated in NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), indicating a strong emphasis on specialized consulting services in human capital management, data science for workforce analytics, and administrative support for institutional strengthening. She also procures services under NAICS 561990 and 541611, underscoring her expertise in managing integrated support functions that enable effective, scalable, and locally owned development outcomes.
