Showsiri Treechairasmee

Showsiri Treechairasmee serves as an Acquisition Assistant with USAID/Thailand, supporting the agency’s mission to advance regional development through strategic procurement of professional and technical services. In this role, she facilitates the end-to-end acquisition lifecycle for contracts that deliver technical assistance, capacity building, and advisory services across public health, environmental sustainability, and governance initiatives. Her responsibilities include preparing solicitation documents, coordinating with technical teams, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations, and supporting contract administration for performance-based engagements. She plays a critical part in aligning procurement activities with USAID’s strategic objectives in Southeast Asia, ensuring timely and effective deployment of expert resources to advance development outcomes. Showsiri collaborates with a diverse range of contractors, primarily professional services firms and technical consultants with deep regional expertise. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages firms specializing in public health program implementation, climate resilience planning, and communications strategy development. Her working relationships are characterized by a focus on performance-based contracting, clear deliverables, and rigorous monitoring of contractor performance against established indicators. She works closely with program officers to ensure vendor capabilities match technical requirements and uphold USAID’s standards for quality and accountability. Showsiri’s procurement activity reflects a strong preference for open, non-set-aside competitions, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted under general competition. This indicates a focus on selecting the most qualified providers based on technical merit and value, rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her approach ensures broad market access and competitive fairness, consistent with USAID’s global procurement principles. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990—All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services—encompassing consulting, technical advisory, monitoring and evaluation, and capacity-building services. She regularly acquires expertise in malaria eradication, climate adaptation, governance strengthening, and strategic communications, ensuring USAID/Thailand maintains a nimble, high-impact contracting pipeline aligned with evolving regional development priorities.
