Dina El Motei

Dina El Motei serves as an Acquisition and Assistance (A&A) Specialist at USAID/Egypt, where she plays a critical role in designing and managing non-procurement instruments and competitive contracts that advance the agency’s development objectives. Her work centers on securing technical expertise to strengthen governance, economic resilience, education, and public health systems across Egypt. She routinely handles complex professional services acquisitions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and USAID’s Automated Directives System (ADS), ensuring alignment with U.S. foreign assistance priorities and local capacity-building goals. Her portfolio emphasizes performance-based, results-driven contracting mechanisms that foster accountability and sustainable impact. Dina collaborates with a diverse array of international and local service providers, including technical consultants, research institutions, and implementation partners with deep sectoral expertise in public sector reform, workforce development, and institutional strengthening. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, her procurement patterns reflect a preference for agile, mission-aligned partners capable of delivering adaptive, evidence-based solutions in complex operating environments. She fosters long-term vendor relationships built on transparency, compliance, and measurable outcomes. Dina’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects USAID/Egypt’s strategic emphasis on selecting the most qualified providers regardless of socioeconomic status, prioritizing technical merit and programmatic fit over mandated set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. Her approach aligns with USAID’s global guidance to maximize value and impact in development programming. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), encompassing a broad spectrum of technical assistance, evaluation, and advisory services. She also frequently procures under NAICS 541618 (Other Management Consulting Services) to support institutional capacity building. Her domain expertise spans governance reform, private sector engagement, and systems-level program design, ensuring that acquisitions directly enable USAID’s mission of sustainable development in Egypt.
