Fabiola Loy

Fabiola Loy serves as a key procurement professional within USAID/Guatemala, supporting the agency’s mission to advance democratic governance, economic resilience, and social equity through strategic contracting. She manages acquisitions aligned with technical assistance and institutional capacity building, primarily procuring professional, scientific, and technical services that strengthen civil society, enhance public sector accountability, and promote gender-based violence prevention. Her work directly enables USAID’s policy reform and local development initiatives by securing expert consultants, evaluators, and implementation partners who deliver on-the-ground technical expertise. Loy’s procurement portfolio is centered on performance-based contracts that emphasize measurable outcomes, adaptive management, and local partner engagement. Her contractor relationships are primarily with domestic and international professional services firms specializing in governance, anti-corruption, and development economics. She collaborates with a diverse range of vendors, including U.S.-based think tanks, research institutions, and local Guatemalan NGOs, fostering partnerships grounded in technical excellence and cultural competency. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, her contracting patterns reflect a preference for firms with demonstrated experience in complex, multi-stakeholder environments and robust monitoring and evaluation frameworks. Fabiola Loy’s procurement activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions issued without set-aside designations. This approach prioritizes technical merit and value over socioeconomic categorization, aligning with USAID’s global operational model that emphasizes performance and scalability. While she does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her contracts often include subcontracting opportunities for small and local enterprises through prime contractor obligations. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541990—All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services—encompassing policy analysis, institutional diagnostics, training design, and impact evaluation. She consistently procures services related to anti-corruption systems, gender equity programming, and local governance capacity building, demonstrating deep expertise in development-sector technical domains.
