Mohammad Ibrahim

Mohammad Ibrahim serves as a Human Resources Specialist at USAID/Iraq, where he plays a critical role in procuring specialized personnel services to support institutional capacity-building and governance reform initiatives. His procurement activities center on securing expert advisors and technical consultants to strengthen public sector performance management, accountability systems, and democratic governance frameworks. He manages acquisitions under personal services and professional services contracts, ensuring alignment with USAID’s mission to empower Iraqi institutions to sustain long-term development outcomes. His work directly enables the deployment of local and international experts in human capital development, organizational design, and public administration modernization. Mohammad collaborates with a diverse array of contractors, primarily professional services firms and human capital consultants specializing in public sector reform. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently engages firms with demonstrated expertise in institutional strengthening, workforce development, and governance advisory services. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for competitively awarded, non-set-aside contracts, indicating a focus on technical merit and subject-matter expertise over socioeconomic preferences. He maintains collaborative, performance-driven relationships with vendors who deliver tailored, mission-critical human resources support across Iraq’s public institutions. Mohammad’s contracting portfolio reflects a strong orientation toward open competition, with 83.3% of awards issued without set-aside designation. However, he consistently allocates 16.7% of awards to 8(a) certified small businesses, demonstrating a measured but deliberate commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. His approach balances the need for high-caliber expertise with USAID’s mandate to foster inclusive economic participation, ensuring that qualified small businesses have meaningful access to opportunities in technical assistance and advisory services. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 812990 (All Other Personal Services) and NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), reflecting his specialization in engaging individual consultants and small firms for customized HR, organizational development, and governance advisory work. He routinely procures services related to performance evaluation systems, civil service reform, leadership training, and public sector workforce planning, aligning acquisitions with USAID’s strategic priorities in institutional resilience and local ownership.
