Myriam Geffrard

Myriam Geffrard serves as a Contracts Specialist with USAID/Haiti, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions that support sustainable development and institutional resilience across Haiti. She manages the full lifecycle of professional services contracts, from requirements definition and market research to award and contract administration, ensuring alignment with federal procurement regulations and USAID’s strategic objectives in health, governance, rule of law, and economic opportunity. Her work centers on securing specialized technical expertise through personal services contractors, both U.S. and third-country nationals, to deliver on-the-ground capacity building and technical assistance. Myriam collaborates with a diverse range of professional services firms and consulting entities that provide subject-matter expertise in public sector reform, election integrity, and institutional strengthening. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with firms possessing deep regional experience and demonstrated capacity in complex, low-resource environments. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear deliverables, and compliance with U.S. government standards for accountability and transparency in international development. Her procurement activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations, indicating a focus on merit-based selection rather than socioeconomic preferences. This approach prioritizes technical capability and mission alignment over socioeconomic categories, though she remains compliant with all applicable small business regulations. Myriam’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), with significant activity in human resources consulting (541612), other computer-related services (541519), and information services (519190). She routinely acquires services related to organizational development, data systems integration, electoral support infrastructure, and technical training—reflecting deep expertise in governance and institutional capacity-building domains.
