Sabrina Simanjuntak

Sabrina Simanjuntak serves as a key procurement professional within the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID/Indonesia), supporting the agency’s mission to advance sustainable development through technical assistance and institutional capacity building. She manages a portfolio of professional services acquisitions focused on strengthening governance, health systems, environmental resilience, and disaster preparedness. Her work centers on securing expert consulting services, program evaluation, and cross-sectoral technical support from qualified domestic and international providers, ensuring alignment with USAID’s strategic priorities and compliance with federal acquisition regulations. She plays a critical role in translating development objectives into actionable contracting strategies that foster local partnerships and global expertise. Her contractor relationships are primarily with professional, scientific, and technical service providers offering specialized advisory, research, and implementation support. While no single contractors dominate her portfolio, she consistently engages firms with demonstrated experience in public health systems, environmental management, and institutional strengthening in Southeast Asia. Her procurement approach emphasizes merit-based selection, technical competence, and alignment with USAID’s localization agenda, fostering partnerships with both U.S.-based firms and Indonesian-led entities capable of delivering context-sensitive solutions. Sabrina’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions classified as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a focus on selecting the most technically qualified offerors regardless of socioeconomic status, rather than prioritizing 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in her portfolio, she maintains compliance with all applicable small business goals and may include them as subcontractors where their expertise supports program objectives. Her primary procurement focus is under NAICS 541990, encompassing all other professional, scientific, and technical services. She regularly procures services such as program monitoring and evaluation, policy analysis, training design, data systems development, and technical advisory support for health, environment, and governance initiatives. Her domain expertise lies in complex, multi-stakeholder development programs requiring high-level analytical and implementation capacity.
