Tetiana Shevchenko

Tetiana Shevchenko serves as a key procurement professional within the U.S. Agency for International Development/Ukraine (USAID/Ukraine), supporting the agency’s mission to strengthen democratic governance, economic resilience, and public health systems through targeted technical assistance. She manages the acquisition of professional and scientific services critical to institutional reform, civil society capacity building, and public service modernization, particularly in post-conflict recovery contexts. Her portfolio centers on consulting and technical advisory contracts designed to enhance Ukraine’s public sector effectiveness and alignment with international standards. Shevchenko collaborates with a diverse range of international and local service providers, including think tanks, policy research institutes, and specialized consulting firms delivering expertise in governance, economic policy, and institutional development. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, requiring rigorous deliverable tracking and adaptive management frameworks. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages firms with demonstrated experience in post-conflict environments and deep regional knowledge of Ukrainian institutional dynamics. Her procurement activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of awards issued under non-set-aside conditions, indicating a focus on merit-based selection rather than socioeconomic preferences. This approach prioritizes technical capability and proven track record over certification-based set-asides, aligning with USAID’s global emphasis on quality and impact over procedural quotas. Shevchenko’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services) and 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), reflecting her specialization in high-skill, knowledge-intensive engagements. She routinely procures services such as policy analysis, public administration reform support, anti-corruption strategy development, and digital governance solutions, requiring deep subject matter expertise and culturally contextual implementation capacity. Her work directly enables USAID/Ukraine’s strategic objectives through evidence-based, technically rigorous contracting.
