Catherine Moore

Catherine Moore serves as a Contracting Officer for USAID/Egypt, where she is responsible for managing the full lifecycle of professional services acquisitions aligned with the agency’s mission of advancing sustainable development and institutional capacity building in Egypt. She oversees the solicitation, evaluation, award, and administration of contracts for technical assistance programs in governance, economic resilience, education, and public health. Her work ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations and USAID’s development objectives, facilitating partnerships with expert consultants and international organizations to deliver high-impact, results-driven interventions. Moore collaborates with a diverse pool of professional service providers, including international development firms, technical consultants, and local Egyptian entities with specialized expertise in policy analysis, institutional strengthening, and program evaluation. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for performance-based, outcome-oriented agreements that emphasize accountability and measurable impact. She works closely with prime contractors and subcontractors to ensure seamless integration of technical expertise with local context, fostering collaborative, long-term partnerships grounded in transparency and compliance. Her procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under full and open competition, reflecting a strategic focus on selecting the most qualified technical providers regardless of socioeconomic status. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her process remains rigorously fair and transparent, ensuring that all eligible vendors have equitable access to opportunities based on technical merit and value for development outcomes. Moore’s primary focus is on NAICS 541990—All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services—encompassing a broad range of advisory, research, training, and evaluation services critical to USAID’s programming. She routinely procures technical assistance in governance reform, economic policy analysis, workforce development, and public health systems strengthening, relying on subject-matter experts with demonstrated experience in complex, multi-stakeholder development environments.
