Suhaib A. Khan

Suhaib A. Khan serves as a Contract Specialist within the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), under agency code 7200AA, where he plays a critical role in executing strategic procurement actions that advance global development objectives. He manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for technical assistance, institutional capacity building, and governance support services, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and USAID’s mission to strengthen public sector institutions abroad. His portfolio primarily encompasses professional and scientific services aligned with international development, policy advisory, and emergency response coordination, requiring nuanced contract structuring to meet complex, cross-border program needs. Khan maintains a consistent working relationship with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC as a primary contractor, reflecting a pattern of engagement with firms delivering high-value technical and management consulting services. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and long-term partnership development, favoring vendors with demonstrated expertise in international program implementation, governance reform, and cross-cultural capacity building. These relationships are built on rigorous evaluation criteria that prioritize technical competence, past performance, and alignment with USAID’s strategic priorities. His procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 83.3% of awards issued without set-asides, indicating a focus on selecting the most qualified providers regardless of socioeconomic status. However, he consistently reserves 16.7% of opportunities for Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but deliberate commitment to small business participation in international development contracting. Khan’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), where he sources expertise in institutional strengthening, democratic governance, and policy analysis. He also procures related services in administrative management consulting, language training, security systems, and background investigation services—reflecting a multidisciplinary approach to supporting complex, multi-sector development programs in fragile and transitioning environments.
