Belgrade HR

Belgrade Jobs serves as a key procurement lead within the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) in Serbia, supporting the agency’s mission to strengthen institutional capacity and public sector governance through strategic contracting. Responsible for managing technical assistance and advisory service acquisitions, they oversee procurements aligned with EU harmonization goals, focusing on enhancing transparency in public procurement, improving public service delivery, and advancing civic engagement through data-driven policy tools. Their portfolio primarily consists of professional and support services contracts designed to build local institutional resilience and foster evidence-based decision-making in Serbia’s public administration. While no specific contractor relationships are currently documented, Belgrade Jobs engages with a broad spectrum of international and local consulting firms, civil society organizations, and technical service providers delivering governance, management, and policy analysis services. Their contracting patterns reflect a preference for performance-based, outcome-oriented agreements, often structured as task orders under indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles to ensure flexibility in responding to evolving reform priorities. Vendor partnerships are typically awarded through competitive sealed bidding or request for proposals, emphasizing technical merit and local capacity-building objectives. Belgrade Jobs maintains a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of acquisitions classified as “No Set-Aside,” indicating a focus on merit-based selection over socioeconomic set-asides. This approach prioritizes technical excellence and alignment with USAID’s strategic objectives over targeted small business programs, though local Serbian firms are actively encouraged to compete based on demonstrated expertise and relevance to Serbia’s reform agenda. The primary NAICS categories under their purview include 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), 561990 (All Other Support Services), and 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services). These reflect a specialization in governance consulting, institutional diagnostics, public procurement reform support, and technical advisory services tailored to public sector modernization. Their work centers on procuring analytical, training, and systems-strengthening services that enable sustainable institutional change in alignment with European Union acquis standards.
