Alioune Mody Ndiaye

Alioune Mody Ndiaye serves as an Acquisition & Assistant Specialist at USAID/Senegal, supporting the agency’s mission to advance sustainable development across West Africa through strategic procurement of professional and technical services. In this role, he facilitates the acquisition of expert consulting, capacity-building, and institutional strengthening services critical to USAID’s programs in governance, public health, education, climate resilience, and humanitarian response. Ndiaye works closely with program officers and technical teams to translate mission objectives into compliant, performance-based solicitations, ensuring alignment with federal acquisition regulations and USAID’s development effectiveness standards. His acquisitions are primarily service-oriented, focused on delivering high-impact technical assistance through qualified local and international experts. Ndiaye collaborates with a diverse range of contractors, including international consulting firms, regional development organizations, and local Senegalese professional service providers. His procurement approach emphasizes partnerships with entities possessing deep contextual expertise in West African institutional environments. He fosters long-term vendor relationships built on performance accountability, adaptive management, and compliance with U.S. government standards, ensuring that contracted services directly support USAID’s goals of local ownership and sustainability. Ndiaye’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open, unrestricted competition, with 100% of his acquisitions issued without set-aside designations. This approach prioritizes selecting the most qualified providers based on technical merit and value, rather than socioeconomic categorization. While he does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, his procurement decisions remain fully compliant with all applicable socioeconomic regulations, and small business participation is encouraged where it aligns with program needs and competitive fairness. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990—All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services—encompassing technical advisory services, monitoring and evaluation, policy analysis, training design, and organizational development. Ndiaye specializes in acquiring services that build institutional capacity within Senegalese and regional public institutions, ensuring that USAID’s interventions are evidence-based, locally led, and sustainable over time.
