Beatrice M. Conde

Beatrice M. Conde serves as a Contract Specialist with USAID/Senegal, where she plays a pivotal role in executing the agency’s mission of advancing sustainable development across West Africa. She manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for technical assistance and professional services, ensuring alignment with federal acquisition regulations and USAID’s strategic priorities in governance, public health, education, and climate resilience. Her work directly supports the deployment of expert personnel and institutional partnerships that strengthen local capacity. Conde routinely handles complex, performance-based acquisitions requiring rigorous evaluation of technical proposals, cost realism, and compliance with international development standards. Conde collaborates with a diverse array of international and local service providers, including consulting firms, technical implementers, and logistics coordinators, to deliver mission-critical services. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, her engagements emphasize firms with proven expertise in development programming, capacity building, and cross-cultural implementation. She fosters transparent, competitive contracting environments and maintains strong working relationships with vendors capable of delivering high-quality, context-sensitive solutions in dynamic African operational settings. Conde’s procurement activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides. This approach prioritizes technical merit and value over socioeconomic classifications, indicating a focus on mission effectiveness and programmatic outcomes rather than socioeconomic targeting. While small business participation is not formally mandated in her portfolio, she remains compliant with all applicable small business policies and evaluates proposals based on capability, not size. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), reflecting her specialization in securing expert advisory services for governance reform, health systems strengthening, and climate adaptation initiatives. She also procures freight transportation arrangement and personal services to support field operations, demonstrating a nuanced understanding of the logistical and human capital needs underpinning USAID’s development programs.
