Reid H. Ahl

Reid Ahl serves as Executive Officer for USAID/Cambodia, overseeing the strategic planning and execution of procurement activities aligned with the agency’s mission to advance sustainable development and institutional resilience in Cambodia. In this role, he ensures that acquisition decisions support technical advisory services, civil society strengthening, and community-based programming, with a focus on capacity building and local ownership. Ahl manages a diverse portfolio of service-based contracts, primarily centered on professional, scientific, and personal services that enable USAID’s on-the-ground development objectives, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and U.S. foreign assistance priorities. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, Ahl’s procurement patterns reflect engagement with a broad spectrum of U.S.-based and international service providers, including technical consultants, research institutions, and local implementing partners. His approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and results-driven deliverables, fostering collaborative vendor partnerships that prioritize adaptive management, cultural competency, and long-term sustainability in development outcomes. Ahl’s contracting portfolio demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with 86.7% of awards issued without set-aside designation. However, he consistently supports socioeconomic objectives, allocating 6.7% each to 8(a) competed and Total Small Business Set-Aside contracts under FAR 19.5, reflecting a measured but intentional commitment to small business participation and diverse vendor inclusion. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 812990 (All Other Personal Services), which accounts for 80% of activity, encompassing specialized technical assistance, training, and community engagement services. An additional 13.3% falls under NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), indicating demand for policy analysis, monitoring and evaluation, and public health communication expertise. These patterns underscore his deep alignment with USAID’s technical domains, including education, environmental conservation, and governance strengthening.
