Shafique Nazim

Shafique Nazim serves as an Acquisition & Assistance Specialist at USAID/Bangladesh, where he plays a pivotal role in designing and managing competitive procurement strategies that align with the agency’s mission of fostering sustainable development and institutional resilience. He specializes in non-construction acquisitions for technical assistance, capacity building, and service-based interventions across agriculture, governance, finance, and urban infrastructure sectors. His work ensures that USAID’s development objectives are met through compliant, transparent, and results-driven contracting and assistance instruments, including task orders, cooperative agreements, and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts. Shafique maintains a consistent working relationship with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a primary contractor providing strategic technical services and implementation support for USAID’s long-term development programs. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for established, high-capacity firms with proven expertise in international development contexts, while maintaining rigorous oversight of performance metrics and compliance with federal acquisition regulations. He engages vendors through full and open competition, emphasizing technical merit, past performance, and organizational capacity over price alone. Shafique’s contracting portfolio reflects a 100% preference for full and open competition, with no set-asides designated for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic categories. This reflects a strategic focus on securing the highest technical capability to deliver complex, mission-critical development outcomes rather than prioritizing socioeconomic goals within this operational context. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services) and NAICS 611430 (Professional and Management Development Training), each accounting for 40% of his activity, with additional emphasis on NAICS 621498 (All Other Outpatient Care Centers). He procures specialized services including institutional strengthening, policy advisory, training curriculum development, and public health program implementation, demonstrating deep expertise in international development technical assistance and workforce capacity building.
