Rebecca White

Rebecca R. White serves as a Contracting Officer for USAID/Cambodia (720442), where she leads the acquisition and management of technical assistance contracts aligned with the agency’s mission to advance sustainable development and institutional resilience. She is responsible for executing full lifecycle procurement activities for professional services that support civil society strengthening, education, health communication, and environmental conservation initiatives. Her portfolio primarily consists of performance-based, non-personal services contracts awarded through competitive means, ensuring alignment with U.S. foreign assistance objectives and compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation and USAID’s Automated Directives System. Rebecca works with a diverse array of international and local professional service providers, including technical consultants, research institutions, and civil society organizations that deliver advisory, capacity-building, and implementation support. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for long-term, performance-driven partnerships with firms possessing deep contextual expertise in Cambodian development dynamics. She fosters collaborative relationships with vendors who demonstrate strong local engagement, adaptive management capabilities, and alignment with USAID’s principles of local ownership and sustainability. Rebecca’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% preference for open, non-set-aside competitions, indicating a focus on merit-based selection rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While she does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her approach prioritizes technical competency and local relevance over socioeconomic categorization, ensuring the highest quality outcomes for development objectives. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), encompassing a broad range of technical consulting, monitoring and evaluation, and institutional strengthening services. She also regularly procures services under NAICS 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services) and NAICS 611710 (Educational Support Services), reflecting expertise in design, implementation, and evaluation of education and public health communication programs. Her domain knowledge centers on adaptive program management, stakeholder engagement, and results-based monitoring in complex, low-resource environments.
