Mr. Patrick Robison serves as an Acquisition & Assistance Specialist at USAID/Bangladesh, where he plays a critical role in executing strategic procurement and assistance instruments aligned with the agency’s mission of sustainable development and institutional strengthening. He manages a diverse portfolio of non-construction contracts focused on technical assistance, capacity building, and service-based interventions in sectors including agriculture, governance, finance, and environmental sustainability. His work ensures that USAID’s development objectives are met through compliant, transparent, and results-driven contracting practices under the Federal Acquisition Regulation and USAID’s Automated Directives System. Mr. Robison maintains a primary working relationship with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a key contractor providing integrated technical services across multiple development domains. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for established, high-capacity service providers with demonstrated expertise in international development contexts, often engaging firms capable of delivering complex, multi-year technical assistance and advisory services. These partnerships are typically performance-based and outcome-oriented, emphasizing accountability and measurable impact. Mr. Robison’s contracting activity is entirely classified as “No Set-Aside,” indicating a focus on open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While he does not prioritize small business set-asides, his procurement decisions are grounded in capability, past performance, and technical alignment with USAID’s mission rather than socioeconomic criteria. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), reflecting a strong demand for cross-cutting advisory services, followed by engineering services (541330) and other technical consulting (541690). He routinely procures specialized services in economic policy analysis, institutional capacity development, urban infrastructure design, and digital solutions for development programs, demonstrating deep expertise in the technical and operational requirements of international assistance.
