Nevine Zakariya

Nevine Zakariya serves as an Acquisition Specialist with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID)/West Bank and Gaza Mission, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical procurements that advance sustainable development and humanitarian stability. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of acquisition activities, from requirements definition and market research to contract award and administration, with a focus on technical assistance and civil works supporting infrastructure resilience. She specializes in procuring professional, scientific, and technical services essential to institutional capacity building, water and sanitation system rehabilitation, and governance strengthening in a complex operational environment. Nevine collaborates with a diverse range of international and local service providers, including engineering firms, public policy consultants, and technical advisory organizations, to deliver high-impact development outcomes. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable, her procurement patterns reflect a preference for experienced, mission-aligned vendors capable of operating under stringent compliance and security protocols. She fosters long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance accountability, transparency, and adherence to U.S. government acquisition regulations. Nevine’s contracting activity is exclusively non-set-aside, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic alignment with USAID’s operational priorities in the West Bank and Gaza, where the urgency of program delivery and the specialized nature of required expertise often necessitate broad market access rather than socioeconomic set-asides. Her approach prioritizes technical merit and value over socioeconomic categorization, while still ensuring compliance with all federal procurement fairness standards. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541990—All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services—encompassing a wide array of specialized technical assistance, engineering consulting, institutional development support, and infrastructure planning services. She routinely procures expertise in water resource management, urban rehabilitation, public financial management, and conflict-sensitive development programming, demonstrating deep domain knowledge in post-conflict and fragile-state context acquisitions.
