RDMA USPSC Support Team

The RDMA USPSC Support Team serves as a critical procurement function within USAID/Thailand, facilitating the acquisition of specialized personal services and general government support to advance international development objectives in Southeast Asia. Responsible for managing contract actions aligned with USAID’s mission of building regional resilience, the team focuses on securing expert personnel and advisory services in public health, climate adaptation, governance, and strategic communications. Their acquisitions primarily support technical assistance programs delivered by consultants, subject matter experts, and implementing partners, ensuring that U.S. development goals are met through agile, performance-driven contracting mechanisms. The team maintains a broad and flexible contractor base, engaging a diverse array of firms and individual consultants without reliance on a concentrated set of prime vendors. Partnerships are formed based on technical capability, regional expertise, and alignment with USAID’s strategic priorities, with contracts awarded through competitive procedures under the Federal Acquisition Regulation. Vendor relationships are characterized by a focus on performance outcomes and adaptive service delivery rather than long-term institutional dependencies, enabling responsive support to evolving field priorities. The RDMA USPSC Support Team does not utilize any socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of acquisitions conducted as unrestricted competitions. This reflects a deliberate procurement strategy prioritizing technical merit and operational efficiency over socioeconomic preferences, ensuring the widest possible pool of qualified providers can compete for mission-critical services. The team’s procurement activity is overwhelmingly concentrated in NAICS 812990 (All Other Personal Services), reflecting a strong emphasis on engaging individual consultants and specialized service providers for short-term, high-impact assignments. Secondary activity in NAICS 921190 (Other General Government Support) underscores their role in procuring administrative and operational services that underpin program implementation. Their domain expertise centers on public health interventions, environmental resilience initiatives, and communications strategy development, requiring deep sector-specific knowledge and flexible contracting approaches.
