Geoffry Lohsl

Geoffry Lohsl serves as a Regional Contracting Officer for USAID/Central Asia/Kazakhstan (Agency Code: 720115), where he leads the acquisition and contract management of technical advisory services critical to advancing U.S. foreign assistance objectives in governance, health, education, and economic development. His role centers on ensuring compliant, transparent, and mission-aligned procurement of professional services that support locally led, sustainable development outcomes. He manages the full lifecycle of contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, from requirements definition and market research to award and performance monitoring, with a strong emphasis on capacity building and institutional strengthening across Central Asia. Lohsl collaborates with a diverse array of international and local professional service providers, including technical consultants, research institutions, and implementation partners with deep regional expertise. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for firms capable of delivering high-level advisory services in public sector reform, enterprise development, and nutrition programming. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently engages vendors with proven track records in complex, multi-stakeholder environments and a demonstrated ability to adapt solutions to local contexts. Lohsl’s procurement strategy does not utilize socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of his acquisitions awarded without restriction under 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This reflects the nature of his mission, which prioritizes technical excellence and regional expertise over socioeconomic targeting, though he remains committed to fair and open competition in alignment with USAID’s global procurement principles. His primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541990—All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services—encompassing technical assistance, institutional capacity assessments, policy analysis, and monitoring and evaluation services. He routinely procures expertise in governance reform, public financial management, private sector engagement, and nutrition-sensitive programming, ensuring that contract deliverables align with USAID’s strategic goals of resilience and sustainability in Central Asia.
