Charles J. Mosby

Charles J. Mosby serves as a Contracting Officer for USAID/Jordan, responsible for managing the full lifecycle of development-focused procurements aligned with the agency’s mission to enhance water security, infrastructure resilience, and institutional capacity in Jordan. He oversees the acquisition of professional services and civil works contracts critical to sustainable water resource management, including pipeline construction, pump station rehabilitation, and water loss reduction initiatives. His portfolio emphasizes technical consulting, engineering design, and construction services that support long-term governance strengthening and local workforce development, ensuring U.S. foreign assistance delivers measurable, durable outcomes. Mosby cultivates strategic partnerships with a diverse range of contractors, primarily professional service firms specializing in water infrastructure engineering and technical advisory services. He engages both international consulting firms with regional expertise and local Jordanian firms with demonstrated capacity in water sector management. His contracting approach prioritizes performance-based outcomes, requiring rigorous technical proposals and evidence of institutional experience in arid-region water systems. He fosters collaborative relationships grounded in compliance, transparency, and technical rigor, ensuring contractors meet USAID’s standards for sustainability and local ownership. Mosby’s procurement strategy reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations. While he does not routinely reserve contracts for 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB firms, his process remains fully compliant with all socioeconomic regulations, and he actively considers small business capabilities when evaluating technical merit and local impact. His approach emphasizes merit-based selection over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with USAID’s operational priorities in international development contexts. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) and 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), reflecting his reliance on technical consultants for water modeling, asset management planning, and institutional capacity assessments. He also regularly procures construction services under NAICS 237110 for water and sewer line infrastructure. His domain expertise centers on hydrological systems, non-revenue water reduction, and integrated water resource management, ensuring acquisitions directly support Jordan’s national water security objectives.
