Hummel’s primary procurement focus centers on NAICS categories related to management consulting, international development services, engineering support, and technical training. He routinely acquires services in economic policy analysis, public financial management, infrastructure design, and monitoring & evaluation systems, requiring deep domain knowledge in governance, agriculture, energy, and transportation sectors. His technical expertise ensures that contracting instruments are tailored to complex, context-sensitive development challenges.
