Tariq Bin Azam

Mr. Tariq Bin Azam serves as a contracting professional within the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID/Bangladesh), where he plays a pivotal role in advancing the agency’s mission of sustainable development through strategic procurement. He manages the acquisition of professional, scientific, and technical services critical to institutional strengthening, economic resilience, and public health program implementation across Bangladesh. His portfolio primarily supports technical assistance initiatives in agriculture, governance, urban infrastructure, and environmental sustainability, aligning procurement decisions with USAID’s long-term development objectives. He oversees full lifecycle contract management—from requirements definition to award and closeout—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and USAID’s development effectiveness standards. Mr. Bin Azam maintains a consistent working relationship with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a key contractor delivering high-value technical services in program design, monitoring and evaluation, and capacity-building support. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for established, experienced firms capable of delivering complex, multi-year technical assistance, often involving cross-sectoral expertise in economic development and public sector reform. While he engages primarily with large, qualified vendors, his approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and rigorous contractor accountability. Mr. Bin Azam’s contracting activity is entirely classified under “No Set-Aside,” indicating a focus on competitive, open procurement rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This reflects a strategic prioritization of technical capability and program impact over socioeconomic preferences, consistent with USAID’s international development context and the limited availability of qualified small businesses in Bangladesh’s local market. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), encompassing advisory services, research, training, and systems integration for development programs. A secondary emphasis on NAICS 923120 (Administration of Public Health Programs) underscores his involvement in health system strengthening and disease prevention initiatives. His expertise centers on procuring specialized technical services that directly support USAID’s Feed the Future and other flagship development missions.
