Patrick J. Wilson

Patrick J. Wilson serves as a Regional Contracting Officer for USAID/Thailand, overseeing the acquisition of technical assistance and advisory services critical to advancing international development outcomes across Southeast Asia. In this role, he manages the full lifecycle of contracts—from solicitation to closeout—ensuring alignment with USAID’s mission to strengthen regional resilience through capacity building in public health, environmental sustainability, and governance. His portfolio primarily supports expert-led interventions, including climate adaptation programs, malaria eradication initiatives, and strategic communications campaigns, requiring agile, performance-based contracting approaches that emphasize measurable impact and local stakeholder engagement. Wilson collaborates with a diverse array of professional service providers, including international consulting firms, technical implementers, and regional experts specializing in development programming. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently engages firms with demonstrated expertise in adaptive management, monitoring and evaluation, and sector-specific technical support. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for performance-driven, outcome-based agreements that incentivize innovation and local ownership, fostering long-term partnerships with vendors capable of operating effectively in complex, multi-stakeholder environments. Wilson’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects USAID/Thailand’s strategic focus on selecting the most qualified global and regional providers based on technical merit rather than socioeconomic preferences, though he remains compliant with all applicable federal procurement regulations and encourages equitable access for qualified small businesses through transparent solicitation practices. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), which encompasses a broad spectrum of development consulting, and NAICS 541611 (Management Consulting Services), supporting organizational capacity and program design. He also regularly procures remediation services under NAICS 562910, particularly for environmental restoration linked to climate resilience projects. His expertise centers on securing high-impact, evidence-based services that drive sustainable development outcomes across Thailand and the broader Mekong region.
