Sabrina Silva

Sabrina Silva serves as an Acquisition & Assistance Specialist at USAID/Haiti, where she plays a pivotal role in executing the agency’s mission to strengthen institutional resilience and sustainable development through strategic procurement of technical expertise. She manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for professional services contracts, with a focus on deploying U.S. and third-country national contractors to deliver on-the-ground technical assistance in health systems, rule of law, electoral integrity, economic opportunity, and infrastructure development. Her work ensures alignment with U.S. foreign policy objectives and USAID’s performance-based contracting standards, emphasizing outcomes-driven program delivery and local capacity building. Sabrina collaborates with a diverse array of international and domestic professional services firms, including specialized consulting entities and technical implementation partners with deep sectoral expertise in governance and development. Her contractor relationships are built on performance accountability, technical rigor, and compliance with federal acquisition regulations, particularly in the context of complex, mission-critical assignments in fragile environments. She fosters long-term partnerships with firms capable of adapting to dynamic operational conditions in Haiti, prioritizing agility, cultural competence, and measurable impact. Sabrina’s procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides, indicating a focus on selecting the most qualified providers regardless of socioeconomic status. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her approach ensures full and open competition in alignment with USAID’s global procurement directives and the need for specialized technical capacity. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services) and 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), reflecting her specialization in securing high-level advisory services, institutional strengthening support, and technical training programs. She consistently procures expertise in public sector reform, election monitoring, health system governance, and economic policy analysis, ensuring that USAID/Haiti’s interventions are informed by cutting-edge, context-specific knowledge.
