Pertaingber Lawrance Noauh

Pertaingber Lawrance Noauh serves as an Acquisition and Assistance Specialist at USAID/Liberia, where they play a pivotal role in designing and executing procurement strategies that align with the agency’s mission to strengthen public health systems, enhance governance, and foster economic resilience. Responsible for managing full lifecycle acquisitions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and USAID’s Automated Directives System (ADS), Noauh specializes in professional services contracts that support long-term development programming. Their work ensures that technical assistance, institutional capacity building, and strategic consulting services are competitively sourced to meet Liberia’s evolving development priorities. Noauh collaborates with a diverse array of international and local professional service providers, including consulting firms, research institutions, and technical experts specializing in public health, governance, and economic development. While no single contractor dominates their portfolio, they consistently engage vendors with demonstrated expertise in adaptive program design, monitoring and evaluation, and systems strengthening. Their procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear statement of work development, and rigorous contractor performance management to ensure value and accountability. Noauh’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of procurements classified as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a focus on selecting the most qualified providers regardless of socioeconomic status, while still adhering to all applicable small business policies. Though not formally set-aside, opportunities are regularly publicized to ensure broad market access for small businesses, including 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB firms, consistent with USAID’s broader inclusion goals. The primary NAICS code underpinning Noauh’s portfolio is 541990—All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services—reflecting a deep specialization in procuring non-clinical, advisory, and analytical services. These include needs assessments, policy design, training curriculum development, and institutional capacity audits, all critical to sustaining Liberia’s development gains through locally owned, evidence-based solutions.
