Oksana B Guelimbatovskaya

Oksana B. Guelimbatovskaya serves as a Personnel Assistant at USAID/Ukraine, providing critical administrative and operational support to the agency’s procurement and human capital functions. In this role, she facilitates the execution of personnel-related acquisitions, ensuring alignment with federal regulations and USAID’s mission to strengthen institutional capacity in Ukraine. Her responsibilities include coordinating staffing requirements, preparing documentation for personnel services contracts, and supporting the lifecycle of professional services procurements—from requirement development to contract closeout. She plays a vital role in enabling the agency’s technical assistance programs by ensuring timely and compliant acquisition of expert personnel and consulting services essential to governance, economic resilience, and public health initiatives. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Guelimbatovskaya collaborates with a broad network of professional service providers, including international consulting firms, local Ukrainian NGOs, and independent subject matter experts specializing in institutional reform and public administration. Her working relationships are characterized by a focus on technical expertise, responsiveness to evolving field conditions, and adherence to U.S. government procurement standards. She supports contract actions that require rapid mobilization of personnel to meet urgent capacity-building needs in conflict-affected regions. Guelimbatovskaya’s procurement activity reflects a uniform preference for non-set-aside contracts, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under standard competitive procedures without socioeconomic set-asides. This approach prioritizes technical merit and mission alignment over socioeconomic classifications, consistent with USAID/Ukraine’s emphasis on delivering high-impact, results-driven technical assistance in a complex operating environment. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990—All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services—encompassing advisory services, governance training, civil society strengthening, and public sector modernization support. She routinely procures expertise in democratic institution building, anti-corruption frameworks, and public financial management, ensuring USAID’s interventions are delivered by qualified professionals with deep contextual knowledge of Ukraine’s reform landscape.
