Neil G. Price

Neil G. Price serves as Regional Contracting Officer for USAID/Bosnia and Herzegovina, overseeing the acquisition of professional, scientific, and technical services critical to advancing democratic governance, institutional capacity, and economic resilience in the region. In this role, he manages the full lifecycle of federal contracts—from solicitation and evaluation to award and closeout—ensuring alignment with U.S. foreign assistance objectives and compliance with FAR and USAID’s Automated Directives System. His portfolio primarily supports policy reform initiatives in electoral integrity, public sector accountability, energy governance, and digital transformation, requiring highly specialized technical expertise and adaptive procurement strategies tailored to complex, mission-driven environments. Mr. Price’s contracting patterns reflect a focus on long-term, performance-based partnerships with firms delivering expert consulting, analytical services, and capacity-building support. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently engages a diverse pool of international and local professional service providers with demonstrated experience in public administration reform, institutional auditing, and policy analysis. His approach emphasizes merit-based selection, rigorous technical evaluation, and performance monitoring to ensure outcomes-driven delivery of U.S. development assistance. Mr. Price does not utilize socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of his acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic decision to prioritize technical capability and programmatic impact over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with USAID’s emphasis on results and efficiency in complex international contexts. His primary procurement focus is NAICS 541990—All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services—encompassing policy research, institutional assessment, training design, and technical advisory services. He routinely procures expertise in electoral system modernization, audit quality enhancement, energy policy analysis, and digital governance tools, requiring contractors with deep regional knowledge and proven experience in post-conflict institutional reform.
