Nathan Olah

Nathan Olah serves as an Acquisition and Assistance Specialist within the U.S. Agency for International Development’s Office of Management and Administrative Affairs (7200AA), where he plays a pivotal role in executing strategic procurement actions that advance global development objectives. He manages a diverse portfolio of non-construction acquisitions focused on technical assistance, institutional capacity building, and governance reform, aligning procurement outcomes with USAID’s mission to strengthen public sector institutions abroad. His work spans the full acquisition lifecycle—from needs analysis and market research to contract award and performance monitoring—ensuring compliance with FAR, DFARS, and USAID’s Automated Directives System. He routinely handles complex service-based contracts requiring specialized expertise in international development, policy advisory, and program evaluation. Nathan maintains a consistent working relationship with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC as a primary contractor, leveraging their capabilities in delivering technical support for governance and democratic engagement initiatives. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established firms with demonstrated experience in international development contexts, while maintaining rigorous oversight of contractor performance and compliance with performance-based service acquisition standards. He engages vendors through competitive solicitations, often utilizing indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) mechanisms to ensure flexibility and responsiveness to evolving program needs. Nathan’s procurement portfolio is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 90% of awards issued under full and open competition, reflecting the specialized nature of the services required. However, he actively supports small business participation through a consistent 10% allocation to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, ensuring opportunities for qualified small businesses in administrative and educational support services. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), where he acquires technical advisory services for governance, economic resilience, and emergency response coordination. He also procures educational support services (611710) and management consulting (541611) to enhance institutional effectiveness in partner nations, demonstrating deep expertise in development-sector service acquisition.
