Boris M. Kabeya serves as a Procurement Agent for USAID/Democratic Republic of Congo (USAID/DRC), where he plays a critical role in advancing the agency’s mission of building sustainable development through strategic acquisitions. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions, he ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning contracting decisions with USAID’s priorities in food security, health system strengthening, and environmental conservation. His acquisitions typically involve professional services supporting institutional capacity building, governance reform, and community-led innovation, with a focus on technical assistance and program implementation support. While no specific contractor relationships are currently available, Kabeya maintains a procurement environment that encourages broad vendor participation, particularly from firms with expertise in development consulting and technical services. He cultivates partnerships with a diverse pool of service providers, including international consultants, local implementing partners, and U.S.-based firms with in-country experience, fostering transparent and competitive procurement processes that prioritize technical merit and local engagement. Kabeya demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 25% of his acquisitions designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for small businesses. The remaining 75% are open competitions, ensuring market-wide access while maintaining flexibility for specialized requirements. His approach supports USAID’s broader goals of local ownership and capacity development through inclusive contracting practices. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541620 (Environmental Consulting Services), 541611 (Management Consulting Services), 541990 (Other Professional Services), and 336112 (Motor Vehicle Manufacturing), indicating expertise in securing technical advisory services, operational support, and specialized equipment for development programs. He routinely procures services related to environmental impact assessments, public administration modernization, and technical training systems, reinforcing USAID/DRC’s emphasis on evidence-based, locally adapted solutions.
