Dale Lewis

Dale Lewis serves as the Contracting Officer for RFP09-015 under USAID/Indonesia, overseeing the solicitation and award of technical assistance contracts aligned with the agency’s mission to strengthen governance, health systems, and environmental resilience in Indonesia. In this role, Lewis manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from needs assessment and RFP development to contract execution and performance monitoring—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and USAID’s policy frameworks. The acquisitions under his purview primarily support institutional capacity building, cross-sectoral program implementation, and technical advisory services delivered by local and international partners. Lewis’s contractor relationships are centered on professional service providers with deep expertise in international development, public health, and institutional governance. He consistently engages firms specializing in policy analysis, epidemiological research, and systems strengthening, often partnering with U.S.-based and locally registered NGOs, think tanks, and consulting firms with demonstrated experience in Southeast Asian contexts. His procurement approach emphasizes merit-based selection, technical rigor, and alignment with USAID’s strategic objectives, fostering long-term collaborations with vendors capable of delivering high-impact, evidence-based interventions. Lewis’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% non-set-aside orientation, indicating a preference for open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This pattern suggests a focus on technical capability and programmatic fit over socioeconomic criteria, consistent with the nature of complex, mission-critical international development contracts requiring specialized expertise. His primary NAICS classification is 813920 (Professional Organizations), underscoring a heavy reliance on professional services contracts for advisory, research, and technical support. Lewis routinely procures services related to health systems strengthening, disease surveillance, environmental policy design, and disaster risk reduction, demonstrating deep domain expertise in development programming and institutional collaboration within the global aid ecosystem.
