Linda Rosalik, Contracting Officer

Linda Rosalik serves as a Contracting Officer at the U.S. Embassy in Port-au-Prince, supporting the Department of State’s mission to sustain critical diplomatic operations in a high-risk, resource-constrained environment. She is responsible for managing the full lifecycle of acquisitions essential to mission continuity, including logistics, transportation, health services, and communications infrastructure. Her procurement portfolio ensures that U.S. government personnel have secure, reliable, and mission-critical support systems in place, often under dynamic and exigent operational conditions. She routinely handles complex, time-sensitive contracts requiring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and diplomatic security protocols. While specific contractor relationships are not publicly enumerated, Rosalik engages with a diverse pool of vendors capable of delivering specialized services in austere environments, including international logistics providers, travel support firms, and health services contractors. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for proven, vetted suppliers with experience in overseas contingency operations and compliance with State Department security and operational standards. She maintains a results-driven, risk-aware approach to vendor selection, prioritizing performance, reliability, and adaptability over cost alone. Rosalik’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects the urgent, mission-critical nature of embassy operations in Haiti, where specialized capabilities often require broad market engagement to ensure timely delivery. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through socioeconomic set-asides, she remains attentive to qualified small businesses that meet stringent operational and security requirements. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 488991 (Packing and Crating), supporting secure movement of sensitive equipment; NAICS 561510 (Travel Agencies), enabling diplomatic mobility and personnel rotation; and NAICS 524114 (Direct Health and Medical Insurance Carriers), ensuring comprehensive medical coverage for U.S. staff. These domains reflect her expertise in mission-critical logistics, personnel support, and health services procurement in complex international settings.
