Honey Sokry

Honey Sokry serves as an Acquisition and Assistance Specialist at USAID/Cambodia, where they play a pivotal role in executing the agency’s mission of advancing sustainable development through strategic procurement and assistance instruments. Responsible for managing competitive solicitations and non-procurement awards, Honey ensures alignment with U.S. foreign assistance priorities, particularly in civil society strengthening, education, health communication, and environmental conservation. Their work spans the full acquisition lifecycle—from needs assessment and market research to contract award and closeout—emphasizing transparency, local ownership, and technical excellence in partner engagement. Honey collaborates with a diverse array of international and local implementing partners, including technical service providers, civil society organizations, and educational institutions. While no single contractor dominates their portfolio, their procurement patterns reflect a preference for experienced firms capable of delivering adaptive, context-sensitive solutions in complex development environments. Working relationships are characterized by long-term collaboration, performance-based oversight, and a focus on capacity building among Cambodian entities. Honey demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic inclusion, with 80% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides, while actively supporting small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides (13.3%) and 8(a) competed awards (6.7%). This balanced approach prioritizes competition while ensuring opportunities for disadvantaged businesses aligned with USAID’s local empowerment goals. Their primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), reflecting a heavy reliance on technical advisory services, monitoring and evaluation, and institutional strengthening support. Additional activity includes educational support services (611710) and specialized accounting and communications services, underscoring expertise in procuring non-traditional, outcomes-driven development solutions tailored to Cambodia’s evolving needs.
