Siata Freeman

Siata Freeman serves as an Acquisition and Assistance (A&A) Specialist at USAID/Liberia, where she plays a pivotal role in designing and executing procurement strategies that align with the agency’s mission to strengthen public health systems, enhance governance, and foster economic resilience. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of contracts and assistance instruments, from needs assessment and solicitation to award and performance monitoring, with a focus on professional consulting services that support long-term development outcomes. She works closely with program officers and technical teams to ensure acquisitions are aligned with strategic objectives and comply with federal procurement regulations, particularly under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and USAID’s Automated Directives System. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identified in available data, Freeman’s procurement patterns suggest collaboration with a broad spectrum of domestic and international consulting firms, technical service providers, and implementation partners experienced in public sector capacity building. Her working relationships are characterized by a results-driven, performance-based approach, emphasizing transparency, accountability, and alignment with U.S. government development goals. Freeman’s acquisition portfolio reflects a 100% preference for non-set-aside contracts, indicating a focus on open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This suggests a strategic emphasis on selecting the most technically qualified vendors regardless of business size or certification status, consistent with USAID’s global procurement priorities for complex, high-stakes development interventions. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services) and 335312 (Motor and Generator Manufacturing), reflecting a dual emphasis on institutional strengthening through management consulting and infrastructure support through energy-related equipment procurement. This unique combination underscores her expertise in procuring both technical advisory services and physical assets critical to Liberia’s development infrastructure.
