USAID/Haiti HR

USAID/Haiti HR serves as a key procurement lead within the U.S. Agency for International Development’s field office in Haiti, responsible for managing acquisition strategies that advance sustainable development and institutional resilience. Their role centers on executing personal services contracts and management consulting engagements to deploy technical experts in health, governance, rule of law, elections, and economic opportunity. As the primary point of contact for contracting actions supporting on-the-ground capacity building, they ensure compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with USAID’s mission of strengthening Haitian public systems through targeted technical assistance. The individual works primarily with U.S. and third-country national personal services contractors who provide specialized expertise in public administration, institutional strengthening, and technical advisory services. These partnerships are typically structured as time-and-materials or labor-hour contracts under the authority of the Federal Acquisition Regulation, emphasizing flexibility and rapid deployment of subject matter experts. Vendor relationships are built on demonstrated technical proficiency and prior performance in complex, low-resource environments, with a preference for firms experienced in post-conflict and fragile state contexts. There is no preference for socioeconomic set-asides; all procurements are conducted as full and open competitions, reflecting a focus on technical merit and operational urgency over socioeconomic criteria. This approach ensures access to the broadest possible pool of qualified consultants capable of delivering high-impact, mission-critical services under dynamic conditions. The procurement portfolio is exclusively focused on NAICS 541611—Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services—encompassing strategic planning, institutional diagnostics, governance reform, and program evaluation. The individual specializes in acquiring advisory services that enhance public sector performance, particularly in areas requiring deep contextual knowledge of Haiti’s political, social, and institutional landscape.
