Cicely Lewis

Cicely Lewis serves as a key procurement professional within USAID/Cambodia, supporting the agency’s mission to advance sustainable development through targeted capacity building and local engagement. In her role, she manages the acquisition of technical advisory services and personal service contracts that directly enable civil society strengthening, health communication, and environmental conservation initiatives. Her procurement activities are centered on securing specialized expertise to support community-based governance and institutional resilience, ensuring that U.S. development assistance is delivered through locally informed, technically sound solutions. She handles a portfolio of non-commercial, service-based acquisitions aligned with USAID’s strategic priorities in Cambodia. Lewis works primarily with independent consultants, local implementing partners, and international technical firms providing advisory, training, and field-based services. While no specific contractor names are currently identifiable in the dataset, her contracting patterns reflect a preference for agile, mission-aligned vendors capable of delivering high-touch, context-sensitive support in complex operational environments. Her working relationships emphasize flexibility, cultural competency, and long-term collaboration over transactional procurement, aligning with USAID’s emphasis on local ownership and sustainable outcomes. Her procurement approach demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 18.2% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. Though no specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB are statistically dominant, the consistent use of small business set-asides signals a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for locally registered enterprises and U.S.-based small firms with relevant development expertise. Her primary procurement focus is exclusively on NAICS 812990 — All Other Personal Services — encompassing expert consulting, technical assistance, training, and community engagement services. These acquisitions support USAID/Cambodia’s core domains: education outreach, public health communication, environmental stewardship, and governance strengthening, reflecting deep expertise in non-commercial, mission-critical service procurement.
