Rickey J. Green serves as a Senior Contract Specialist with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID)/West Bank and Gaza Mission, where he plays a pivotal role in executing complex procurement actions that support humanitarian stability and sustainable development. He manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for critical infrastructure and technical assistance programs, ensuring compliance with federal regulations and USAID’s mission-driven objectives. His portfolio primarily encompasses civil works and specialized professional services essential to rebuilding water systems, urban infrastructure, and institutional capacity in a high-risk operational environment. Rickey ensures all procurements align with U.S. foreign assistance policy, emphasizing transparency, accountability, and performance-based outcomes. Rickey collaborates with a diverse range of contractors, including international engineering firms, local implementers, and technical consultants with deep regional expertise. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for experienced vendors capable of navigating complex logistical, security, and regulatory challenges in the West Bank and Gaza. He fosters long-term partnerships with firms possessing proven track records in post-conflict reconstruction and institutional strengthening, prioritizing contractors who demonstrate adaptive management and cultural competency. Rickey’s procurement approach reflects a strong commitment to open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions conducted without set-asides. While he does not prioritize socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, his focus remains on securing technically qualified vendors capable of delivering mission-critical outcomes under demanding conditions. His contracting decisions are guided by capability, not socioeconomic status, ensuring that project integrity and operational effectiveness remain paramount. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237110 (Water and Sewer Line Construction), 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), and 541990 (Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), with additional activity in 541490 (Specialized Design Services).
