Susan Cheung

Susan Cheung serves as a key procurement lead within USAID/Haiti, responsible for managing technical assistance contracts that advance the agency’s mission of building sustainable public systems in health, governance, rule of law, and economic opportunity. She oversees the acquisition of specialized personal services contracts, primarily engaging U.S. and third-country national experts to deliver on-the-ground capacity building and institutional strengthening. Her work is central to USAID/Haiti’s strategy of deploying high-impact, mission-critical expertise through performance-based contracting mechanisms that align with U.S. foreign assistance objectives. Cheung’s contractor relationships are centered on management consulting firms and technical service providers with deep expertise in public sector reform and development programming. She routinely engages firms capable of delivering strategic advisory services, organizational assessments, and institutional diagnostics, often requiring cleared personnel with prior experience in fragile states. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, her procurement patterns reflect a preference for experienced, non-domestic service providers with proven track records in post-conflict and low-resource environments. Cheung’s contracting activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of acquisitions competed without restriction under the No Set-Aside category. This reflects USAID/Haiti’s operational emphasis on technical merit and mission alignment over socioeconomic preferences, prioritizing subject matter expertise and delivery capacity above vendor classification. Her approach aligns with USAID’s global practice of ensuring the most qualified personnel are selected to support complex, high-stakes development interventions. Her procurement focus is entirely concentrated under NAICS 541611, Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services, indicating a specialization in strategic advisory, governance reform, and public administration support. She procures services related to electoral system strengthening, judicial capacity building, and public financial management—domains requiring highly specialized, context-sensitive consulting expertise rather than commoditized goods or generic IT solutions.
