Rosanna Garcia

Rosanna Garcia serves as a key procurement professional within USAID/Haiti, supporting the agency’s mission to strengthen institutional resilience and sustainable development through specialized personal services contracting. She manages the acquisition of technical assistance and capacity-building services critical to Haiti’s public systems in health, rule of law, elections, economic opportunity, and infrastructure. Her work centers on securing on-the-ground expertise from U.S. and third-country nationals through personal services contracts, ensuring alignment with USAID’s strategic objectives and compliance with federal acquisition regulations. Garcia’s portfolio is instrumental in deploying subject-matter experts who deliver direct, mission-critical support to Haitian institutions. Garcia collaborates with a diverse array of contractors specializing in international development, governance, and technical advisory services. She works primarily with firms and individual consultants possessing deep regional expertise in public sector reform, electoral systems, and health system strengthening. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and rigorous contractor qualifications, fostering long-term partnerships with vendors capable of delivering high-impact, context-sensitive solutions in complex operating environments. She maintains a professional, results-driven relationship with contractors, prioritizing accountability, adaptability, and local capacity transfer. Garcia’s procurement activities reflect a consistent preference for open, non-set-aside competitions, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without socioeconomic set-asides. While she does not routinely prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her approach ensures full and open competition to secure the highest-quality technical expertise available globally. This reflects USAID/Haiti’s operational need for specialized, often internationally sourced, personnel with proven experience in fragile state environments. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 812990 — All Other Personal Services — encompassing expert consultants, technical advisors, and short-term assignment specialists. She procures services related to institutional capacity building, policy analysis, election monitoring, and public financial management, requiring deep domain knowledge in international development and post-conflict governance.
