Olha Zadorozhna

Olha Zadorozhna serves as a key procurement professional within the U.S. Agency for International Development/Ukraine (USAID/Ukraine), overseeing technical assistance contracts that advance democratic governance, economic resilience, and public service modernization. She manages acquisitions aligned with USAID’s mission to build institutional capacity in post-conflict environments, primarily securing expert consulting services to support policy reform, civil society strengthening, and private sector development. Her portfolio centers on high-impact, knowledge-based engagements that require specialized technical expertise in governance, public administration, and institutional diagnostics. Zadorozhna collaborates with a diverse array of international and local consulting firms, including think tanks, research institutions, and independent subject-matter experts, to deliver evidence-based technical assistance. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, requiring rigorous work plans, measurable deliverables, and adaptive management frameworks. She engages both U.S.-based and Ukraine-local vendors, fostering partnerships that blend global best practices with contextual expertise to ensure sustainable impact. Her procurement pattern reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of awards issued under non-set-aside mechanisms, indicating a focus on technical merit and capability over socioeconomic classifications. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her process remains transparent and competitive, ensuring the selection of the most qualified providers based on technical proposal quality and past performance. Zadorozhna’s acquisitions are overwhelmingly concentrated under NAICS 541690—Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services—reflecting her specialization in procuring strategic advisory services for institutional reform. She routinely contracts for governance assessments, anti-corruption capacity building, public financial management training, and civil society engagement design, demonstrating deep expertise in complex, context-sensitive technical assistance procurement within fragile and conflict-affected settings.
