Reginald Barthelemy

Reginald Barthelemy serves as a key procurement lead within USAID/Zambia, supporting the agency’s mission to strengthen public health systems, enhance agricultural resilience, and advance digital governance through targeted technical assistance. He manages the acquisition of personal services contracts essential to implementing on-the-ground development programs, including data analytics, health systems training, and supply chain optimization. His work directly enables USAID/Zambia’s emphasis on local capacity building and evidence-based decision-making, ensuring that contract vehicles align with strategic priorities in health informatics and institutional strengthening. Barthelemy collaborates with a diverse array of service providers, including international development consultants, local Zambian technical firms, and U.S.-based nonprofit implementers. His procurement approach prioritizes performance-based outcomes and adaptive management, fostering long-term partnerships with vendors capable of delivering context-specific solutions in complex operational environments. He engages contractors who demonstrate expertise in health information systems, malaria and TB program support, and digital governance tools, often requiring deep field experience and cultural competency. Barthelemy’s contracting portfolio reflects a 100% preference for non-set-aside acquisitions, indicating a focus on competitive, open procurement rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While he does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, his approach ensures full and open competition to secure the highest-quality technical expertise available globally, consistent with USAID’s mandate for efficiency and impact. His primary procurement activity centers on NAICS 812990 (All Other Personal Services), encompassing specialized technical services such as monitoring and evaluation, data system design, workforce training, and supply chain logistics support. He routinely procures expert consultants and short-term assignments to deliver agile, mission-critical interventions that align with USAID/Zambia’s data-driven, results-oriented development framework.
