Geoffry A. Lohsl

Geoffry A. Lohsl serves as a Contracting Officer for USAID/Ethiopia (Agency Code: 720663), where he plays a pivotal role in executing the agency’s mission to advance sustainable development and humanitarian outcomes through strategic procurement. He manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for technical assistance and institutional capacity-building programs, with a focus on consulting services that strengthen public health systems, education frameworks, and governance structures. His portfolio centers on performance-based contracts that align with USAID’s emphasis on localized expertise and long-term impact, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and U.S. foreign assistance policy. Mr. Lohsl’s contracting patterns reflect a consistent reliance on non-set-aside, open competitions, with 100% of his acquisitions conducted under unrestricted solicitation. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identified in the data, his work inherently engages a broad spectrum of international and domestic technical consultants, including firms with deep experience in global health, education policy, and institutional development. His procurement approach prioritizes technical merit, value for money, and alignment with USAID’s strategic objectives over socioeconomic preferences, fostering a competitive environment for qualified service providers. His set-aside preferences indicate no use of 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs, reflecting a procurement strategy aligned with the agency’s global programming needs and the specialized, often international, nature of required expertise. This reflects a mission-driven focus on capability and track record rather than socioeconomic targeting. Mr. Lohsl’s procurement activity is exclusively concentrated under NAICS 541690—Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services—indicating a specialized focus on high-level advisory services, program evaluation, systems strengthening, and technical implementation support. He procures expertise in public health systems design, mental health and psychosocial services, immunization logistics, and governance reform, ensuring USAID/Ethiopia’s interventions are evidence-based, scalable, and locally contextualized.
