Pasin Bua-on

Pasin Bua-on serves as a Human Resources Assistant at USAID/Thailand, supporting the agency’s mission to advance regional development through strategic human capital management and administrative procurement. In this role, Pasin facilitates the acquisition of professional services critical to staffing, capacity building, and operational support for USAID’s technical programs in public health, governance, and environmental sustainability. Their responsibilities include coordinating procurement processes for personnel services and technical advisory contracts, ensuring alignment with federal acquisition regulations and USAID’s development objectives. Pasin works closely with program officers and finance teams to identify staffing needs and translate them into compliant, mission-driven solicitations. While no specific contractor relationships are currently documented, Pasin engages with a diverse pool of vendors providing human resources, technical advisory, and personal services essential to USAID’s field operations. These include firms offering recruitment support, training facilitation, communications strategy, and administrative consulting services. The working relationship pattern emphasizes responsiveness to dynamic program needs, often requiring rapid deployment of subject matter experts across Southeast Asia. Pasin’s procurement activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of acquisitions classified as “No Set-Aside,” indicating a focus on merit-based selection rather than socioeconomic set-asides. This approach prioritizes technical competency and programmatic fit over socioeconomic criteria, consistent with USAID’s global operational model. The primary NAICS categories under Pasin’s purview are 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services) and 812990 (All Other Personal Services), reflecting a focus on specialized consulting, training, and administrative support. These services underpin USAID’s capacity-building initiatives, particularly in governance, communications, and health workforce development. Pasin’s expertise lies in procuring agile, high-impact human capital solutions that enable USAID’s technical teams to deliver sustainable development outcomes across the region.
