Spogmai Haidari

Spogmai Haidari serves as an Acquisition and Assistance Specialist at USAID/Afghanistan, where they play a pivotal role in designing, managing, and executing procurement and assistance instruments that advance the agency’s mission of sustainable development and institutional capacity building. Responsible for the full lifecycle of acquisition activities, Haidari specializes in technical assistance contracts and cooperative agreements that support governance, health systems strengthening, and civil society empowerment. Their work ensures alignment with U.S. foreign assistance priorities, integrating compliance with federal acquisition regulations and USAID’s Automated Directives System to deliver high-impact, results-driven interventions in complex operational environments. Haidari collaborates with a diverse range of international and local implementers, including technical service providers, research institutions, and development consultants, to deliver expert-led programming. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the dataset, their procurement patterns reflect a preference for performance-based, outcome-oriented partnerships with organizations possessing demonstrated expertise in public health administration and business support services. Working relationships are characterized by rigorous due diligence, transparent competition, and a focus on local capacity building through long-term technical engagement. Haidari’s procurement strategy reflects a strong commitment to open competition, with 100% of acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations. This approach prioritizes technical merit and value over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with USAID/Afghanistan’s operational context and the need for specialized, scalable expertise in a high-risk environment. While small business participation is not formally incentivized through set-asides, the agency’s reliance on niche service providers often results in inadvertent engagement with small and medium-sized entities possessing domain-specific capabilities. The primary NAICS focus areas are 923120 (Administration of Public Health Programs) and 561499 (All Other Business Support Services), reflecting Haidari’s specialization in procuring health system strengthening services, training and technical advisory support, and organizational development assistance. Their expertise lies in securing non-commodity services that enhance institutional resilience, including data management, monitoring and evaluation, and policy advisory services critical to USAID’s development objectives in Afghanistan.
