Ola Al-Ghazawi

Ola Al-Ghazawi serves as a Procurement Assistant at USAID/Jordan, supporting the agency’s mission to advance water security, infrastructure resilience, and institutional capacity building through strategic acquisition of technical and operational services. In this role, she facilitates the end-to-end procurement process for consulting services, IT equipment, and specialized software solutions critical to water resource management and governance strengthening initiatives. She works closely with program officers and technical teams to translate development objectives into compliant, transparent solicitations, ensuring alignment with federal acquisition regulations and USAID’s development effectiveness standards. While specific contractor names are not currently available, Ola collaborates with a diverse pool of vendors providing management consulting, IT infrastructure, and engineering support services. Her procurement activities emphasize performance-based contracting and value-driven vendor selection, fostering partnerships with firms capable of delivering technical expertise in water system rehabilitation, data management, and institutional capacity development. She maintains a results-oriented approach to vendor engagement, prioritizing responsiveness, technical competence, and adherence to U.S. government contracting standards. Ola’s procurement activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of acquisitions designated as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a focus on merit-based selection rather than socioeconomic set-asides, aligning with USAID/Jordan’s emphasis on technical excellence and programmatic impact over targeted socioeconomic preferences. Her approach supports broad market access while maintaining rigorous evaluation criteria for vendor qualifications. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 423430 (computer and peripheral equipment wholesalers), 541618 (other management consulting services), and related categories in information services and office equipment manufacturing. She routinely acquires IT hardware, software licensing, data analytics tools, and professional engineering consulting services essential to modernizing Jordan’s water infrastructure and enhancing local institutional governance. Her expertise lies at the intersection of technical procurement and development outcomes, ensuring that acquisitions directly support sustainable, locally-led progress.
