Ryan M. Weddle

Ryan M. Weddle serves as a Contracting Specialist with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID/Pakistan), where he plays a pivotal role in executing strategic procurements that advance sustainable development and institutional capacity building across Pakistan. He manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for professional services, ensuring compliance with federal regulations and USAID’s mission-driven objectives. His portfolio primarily encompasses technical assistance contracts supporting governance, economic resilience, and social development initiatives, with a strong emphasis on performance monitoring, policy advisory, and leadership development services. Weddle works closely with program officers and technical teams to align contracting strategies with country-specific development priorities. Weddle cultivates partnerships with a diverse range of service providers, including international consulting firms, local Pakistani institutions, and technical experts specializing in public sector reform and data-driven evaluation. His procurement approach prioritizes performance-based outcomes and local engagement, fostering collaborative relationships with vendors capable of delivering context-sensitive, high-impact solutions. He frequently engages with firms possessing deep regional expertise and demonstrated capacity in delivering complex, multi-year technical assistance programs under USAID’s cooperative agreement and contract authorities. Weddle’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions classified as “No Set-Aside.” While he does not routinely utilize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, his process emphasizes merit-based selection grounded in technical capability and local relevance. This approach ensures that procurement decisions prioritize mission effectiveness and sustainable impact over socioeconomic categorization. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services) and 541618 (Other Management Consulting Services), reflecting a demand for adaptive management, monitoring and evaluation, and governance advisory services. He also regularly procures custom computer programming (541511) and administrative management consulting (541611) to support digital systems for data collection, performance tracking, and institutional strengthening. Weddle’s expertise centers on acquiring high-quality, locally anchored technical services that empower Pakistani institutions to drive their own development outcomes.
