Nathaniel Scott

Nathaniel Scott serves as a Contracting Officer with USAID/Haiti (Agency Code: 720521), where he manages the acquisition of technical assistance and institutional capacity-building services critical to the agency’s mission of advancing sustainable development in Haiti. He oversees the procurement of specialized personal services contracts for U.S. and third-country nationals who provide on-the-ground expertise in governance, public health, rule of law, elections, and infrastructure. His portfolio centers on performance-based acquisitions that align with USAID’s strategic objectives, emphasizing outcomes-driven contracting and compliance with federal acquisition regulations, particularly in complex, high-risk operational environments. Nathaniel collaborates with a diverse range of international consulting firms, technical service providers, and financial advisory firms to deliver mission-critical expertise. His contractor relationships are characterized by long-term, performance-based engagements with firms possessing demonstrated experience in post-conflict institutional reform and development finance. He frequently works with firms that maintain field offices in the Caribbean and Latin America, ensuring culturally competent, locally informed implementation. Vendor partnerships are selected based on technical merit, past performance, and alignment with USAID’s standards for accountability and transparency. Nathaniel’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of acquisitions issued without set-aside designations. While he does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, his contracting approach supports broad market participation through transparent solicitation processes and clear evaluation criteria. His focus remains on securing the highest-quality technical expertise regardless of vendor size, consistent with USAID’s global operational model. His primary NAICS focus areas include Commercial and Institutional Building Construction (236220), Offices of Certified Public Accountants (541211), and International Affairs (928120), reflecting his oversight of infrastructure rehabilitation, financial governance, and diplomatic support services. He also procures residential remodeling and financial investment services to support localized economic resilience initiatives. His technical domain expertise lies in integrating development outcomes with fiscal accountability and institutional strengthening across fragile contexts.
