Eleuterio M. Mangilit

Eleuterio M. Mangilit serves as a Procurement Agent for USAID/Philippines, where he plays a critical role in executing acquisition strategies that align with the agency’s mission of advancing sustainable development and institutional capacity building. He manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for professional services contracts, ensuring compliance with federal regulations and USAID’s development objectives. His acquisitions primarily support technical assistance initiatives in governance, economic growth, and climate resilience, often involving expert consultants, training providers, and performance evaluation firms. Mangilit ensures that procurement processes are transparent, competitive, and aligned with U.S. foreign assistance priorities. Mangilit works with a diverse array of professional service providers, including domestic and international firms specializing in public administration, financial systems strengthening, and technical advisory services. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently engages firms with demonstrated expertise in development sector consulting, monitoring and evaluation, and capacity-building programs. His procurement approach emphasizes merit-based selection, rigorous source evaluation, and adherence to performance-based contracting standards to ensure outcomes-driven results. Mangilit’s contracting activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions issued without set-aside designations. This indicates a focus on selecting the most qualified vendors regardless of socioeconomic status, prioritizing technical capability and programmatic alignment over socioeconomic preferences. While he does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, his process remains compliant with all applicable socioeconomic contracting regulations and emphasizes fair and open competition. His procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 812990 (All Other Personal Services) at 87.5%, reflecting his dominance in securing individual consultant services, technical advisors, and short-term expert assignments. The remaining 12.5% falls under NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), encompassing specialized analytical, research, and institutional support services. His expertise lies in procuring high-value human capital solutions that directly inform USAID’s development interventions across the Philippines.
