KMA Zubin Faisal

KMA Zubin Faisal serves as an HR Assistant at USAID/Bangladesh, supporting the agency’s mission to advance sustainable development through strategic human capital and technical assistance programs. While not a contracting officer, Zubin plays a critical administrative and coordination role in the procurement lifecycle, facilitating HR-related acquisitions that enable workforce development, institutional capacity building, and technical service delivery. Their responsibilities include preparing documentation, managing vendor communications, and ensuring compliance with USAID’s procedural requirements for professional services contracts—particularly those tied to training, organizational development, and advisory support for local institutions. Zubin maintains consistent working relationships with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a key provider of technical and professional services supporting USAID’s development objectives in Bangladesh. These partnerships typically involve consultative services in governance, economic resilience, and sector-specific capacity building. The collaboration is characterized by recurring engagement on project-based assignments that require specialized expertise in development programming, reflecting a preference for established, high-capacity vendors with proven track records in international development contexts. Zubin’s procurement activities reflect a 100% focus on open, non-set-aside competitions, with no preference for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic categories. This aligns with USAID/Bangladesh’s broader strategy of sourcing specialized technical expertise from the most qualified providers, regardless of business size or certification status, prioritizing mission impact over socioeconomic targeting. The primary NAICS category underpinning Zubin’s support is 541990—All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services—encompassing a broad range of advisory, analytical, and implementation services critical to USAID’s technical assistance initiatives. These include organizational diagnostics, policy analysis, training design, and institutional strengthening services across agriculture, finance, urban infrastructure, and environmental sustainability programs. Their work ensures that human resource and operational support functions are aligned with high-impact development outcomes.
