Kosal San

Kosal San serves as Secretary/Procurement Clerk at USAID/Cambodia (Agency Code: 720442), playing a critical administrative and operational role in the agency’s procurement lifecycle. Responsible for supporting the preparation, documentation, and processing of acquisition actions, Kosal ensures compliance with U.S. federal procurement regulations and USAID’s procedural standards. Their work directly enables the agency’s mission to advance sustainable development through technical assistance, civil society strengthening, and community-based programming. Kosal routinely handles low-to-mid-tier service acquisitions, primarily focused on personal services contracts that support advisory, training, and capacity-building initiatives aligned with USAID’s strategic priorities in education, health communication, and environmental conservation. Kosal collaborates with a diverse range of service providers, including local Cambodian NGOs, international consultants, and U.S.-based technical firms engaged in development programming. While no single contractor dominates award activity, the procurement patterns reflect a preference for flexible, task-based engagements with subject-matter experts in social sector services. Vendor partnerships are typically established through direct solicitations and simplified acquisition procedures, emphasizing responsiveness, cultural competency, and local knowledge. Kosal’s procurement activity shows a 100% preference for non-set-aside contracts, indicating a focus on open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This reflects the agency’s operational context in Cambodia, where local capacity-building often prioritizes technical merit and relevance over U.S.-based socioeconomic categories. The primary NAICS code utilized is 812990 (All Other Personal Services), underscoring a heavy reliance on expert consultants, trainers, and technical advisors delivering non-standardized, mission-critical services. These procurements support USAID’s emphasis on localized, knowledge-based interventions rather than commodity procurement, with a technical domain centered on institutional strengthening, community engagement, and public communication initiatives.
