Marie-Judie Cherubin

Marie-Judie Cherubin serves as a key procurement professional within USAID/Haiti, supporting the agency’s mission to strengthen sustainable development and institutional resilience through targeted technical assistance and capacity-building initiatives. She manages the acquisition lifecycle for personal services contracts and professional support services critical to advancing governance, public health, rule of law, and economic opportunity programs across Haiti. Her work centers on securing specialized U.S. and third-country national experts to deliver on-the-ground technical expertise, ensuring alignment with U.S. foreign assistance priorities and compliance with federal acquisition regulations. Cherubin’s portfolio emphasizes performance-based, results-driven contracting mechanisms that prioritize measurable outcomes and local institutional capacity. Her contractor relationships are primarily with firms and individuals providing expert consulting, institutional strengthening, and program implementation services in sectors such as electoral integrity, judicial reform, and public health systems strengthening. She collaborates with a diverse array of international and local service providers, including U.S.-based development contractors and Haitian-led organizations, fostering partnerships that blend technical excellence with contextual relevance. Her approach prioritizes long-term engagement over transactional procurement, encouraging contractor retention and performance continuity across multi-year programs. Cherubin’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of acquisitions issued without set-aside designations. While she does not routinely reserve awards for 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB concerns, her process emphasizes merit-based selection and value-for-money outcomes, consistent with USAID’s global procurement guidelines and the unique operational environment in Haiti. Her primary procurement focus lies in professional services related to governance, public administration, and technical assistance, aligning with NAICS categories such as 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting) and 541990 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services). She routinely acquires expert-led interventions in electoral systems, legal reform, and health infrastructure support, demonstrating deep domain expertise in post-conflict and fragile-state development contexts.
